Evidence from Whole Genome Sequencing of Aerosol Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 almost Five Hours after Hospital Room Turnover

2024-01-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Experimental evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 remains viable within aerosols with a half-life of approximately 1-3 hours, though changes in aerosol microenvironment may shorten viability to minutes. However, it remains unclear how long airborne SARS-CoV-2 can transmit infection. Whole genome sequencing of nasopharyngeal samples obtained from patients on an outbreak unit suggested in-ro...
