Long-distance airborne dispersal of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 wards

2020-10-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2, as well as other coronaviruses, can be dispersed and potentially transmitted by aerosols directly or via ventilation systems. We therefore investigated ventilation openings in one COVID-19 ward and central ducts that expel indoor air from three COVID-19 wards at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden, during April and May 2020. Swab samples were taken fro...
