Differential aerosol shedding of SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants during respiratory activities

2022-02-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Data on the viral loads in respiratory aerosols from patients infected with Delta and Omicron variants are limited. In this study, we used an exhaled breath bioaerosol collector to collect aerosol samples in coarse (> 5µm) and fine (≤ 5µm) fractions from COVID-19 patients infected with these VOCs while doing various respiratory activities. Samples were tested via SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR and...
