Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Is Emitted in Aerosol Particles

Seth A. Hawks et al.

Summary: Research has shown that in golden Syrian hamsters, SARS-CoV-2 virus is emitted in infectious aerosol particles prior to and concurrent with the onset of mild disease symptoms, primarily contained within particles smaller than 5 micrometers. These findings indicate that SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne virus, supporting the use of ventilation to reduce transmission.

Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses

Chia C. Wang et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of traditional respiratory virus transmission pathways, highlighting the need for updates. Improved understanding of aerosol transmission through studies of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection calls for a reassessment of major transmission pathways for other respiratory viruses, enabling better control measures to reduce airborne transmission.
