Risk of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Transmission in Train Passengers: an Epidemiological and Modeling Study

Maogui Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that there is a high transmission risk of COVID-19 among train passengers, but this risk varies significantly with co-travel time and seat location. As co-travel time increases, the risk of infection also increases, and measures should be taken to reduce transmission risk, such as increasing seat distance, reducing passenger density, and using personal hygiene protection.

Risk Factors Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Seropositivity Among US Health Care Personnel

Jesse T. Jacob et al.

Summary: The study found that healthcare personnel in three states in the USA were primarily influenced by community contact when it came to contracting the coronavirus, with workplace-related factors not showing a significant association. This indicates that current infection prevention practices in diverse healthcare settings are effective in preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from patients to healthcare personnel.
