Exposition to airborne SARS-CoV-2 in household and hospitals settings as studied by a vacuum cleaner as a high-powered air sampler

2021-07-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> We aimed to study the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in air surrounding infected healthcare workers (HCW) in their homes versus infected patients who were undergoing potential aerosol-generating medical procedures (AGMP). We also studied the effect of different face masks worn bij infected persons on spread of SARS-CoV-2 into the air. <h4>Methods</h4> We developed a high-volume air sampler method that...
