Viral Load of SARS-CoV-2 in Respiratory Aerosols Emitted by COVID-19 Patients while Breathing, Talking, and Singing

2021-07-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Multiple SARS-CoV-2 superspreading events suggest that aerosols play an important role in driving the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the detailed roles of coarse (>5μm) and fine (≤5μm) respiratory aerosols produced when breathing, talking, and singing are not well-understood. <h4>Methods</h4> Using a G-II exhaled breath collector, we measured viral RNA in coarse and fine respiratory aerosols emitt...
