Investigating the effects of absolute humidity and human encounters on transmission of COVID-19 in the United States

2020-11-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Mounting evidence suggests that the primary mode of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized transmission from close contact with infected individuals. Even though transmission is a direct result of human encounters, environmental conditions, such as lower humidity, may enhance aerosolized transmission risks similar to other respiratory viruses such as influenza. <h4>Methods</h4> We utilized d...
