Abstract excerpt

<p>Executive summaryInitial recommendations for protecting health care workers (HCWs) against COVID-19 were based on an early and incomplete understanding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission; namely, that it occurred mainly via large respiratory droplets (>10 µm) that were inhaled into the nasopharynx, directly inoculated onto mucous membranes, deposited on the skin and...
