Assessment of Air Contamination by SARS-CoV-2 in Hospital Settings

By / / Leave a Comment

The transmission modes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remain controversial. At the emerging stage of the pandemic, many countries implemented high-level precautions, including airborne and contact precautions, to prevent the spread from patients to health care professionals (HCPs). An emerging understanding of SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology, which is primarily transmitted from person to person […]

The stability of an isolate of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage in aerosols is similar to three earlier isolates

The stability in aerosols of four SARS-CoV-2 isolates, including one from lineage B.1.1.7, is similar when compared across multiple environmental conditions. These results suggest that transmissibility differences among SARS-CoV-2 lineages are likely not due to differences in aerosol stability.
