Abstract

On 21 November 2022, a wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3) was isolated from an environmental surveillance sample of poliovirus essential facilities in the Netherlands. All 51 employees with access to this strain were screened for ongoing or recent poliovirus infection. One employee shedding WPV3 was identified on 8 December and placed in isolation; monitoring and contact tracing were initiated. WPV3 shedding continued for 4 weeks and stopped 5 January 2023. Isolation was lifted 11 January and no further transmission was detected.
