Investigating Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Surface and Air Contamination in an Acute Healthcare Setting During the Peak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic in London

Jie Zhou et al.

Summary: The study evaluated SARS-CoV-2 surface and air contamination in a London hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Viral RNA was detected on surfaces (52.3%) and in air samples (38.7%), but no virus was cultured. The high PCR cycle threshold indicated the virus was not culturable.

Transmission heterogeneities, kinetics, and controllability of SARS-CoV-2

Kaiyuan Sun et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant transmission heterogeneity of SARS-CoV-2, with a small proportion of individuals contributing to most secondary infections. Transmission risk is positively correlated with exposure duration and social interactions, modulated by demographic and clinical factors. During lockdown, transmission risk increases within families but decreases with isolation and quarantine measures for all types of contacts.

Duration and key determinants of infectious virus shedding in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)

Jeroen J. A. van Kampen et al.

Summary: The study found that the median duration of shedding infectious virus in COVID-19 patients is 8 days, dropping below 5% after 15.2 days post onset of symptoms. High viral loads are associated with infectious SARS-CoV-2 isolation, while high serum neutralizing antibody titres are associated with non-infectious SARS-CoV-2.

K18-hACE2 mice develop respiratory disease resembling severe COVID-19

Claude Kwe Yinda et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that humanized transgenic mice developed dose-dependent disease when inoculated with SARS-CoV-2, showing upper and lower respiratory tract infection with viral replication also in the brain. The pathological and immunological manifestations observed in these mice resemble human COVID-19, suggesting the model's usefulness in elucidating COVID-19 pathogenesis and testing countermeasures.

SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are transmitted through the air between ferrets over more than one meter distance

Jasmin S. Kutter et al.

Summary: The study shows that SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted through the air over more than a meter distance in ferrets, indicating that ferrets may be a sensitive model to study interventions aimed at preventing virus transmission.

SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV viral load dynamics, duration of viral shedding, and infectiousness: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Muge Cevik et al.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the viral load dynamics, duration of viral shedding, and viable virus shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in various body fluids. The findings suggest that while SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding can be prolonged in respiratory and stool samples, the duration of viable virus shedding is relatively short-lived.
