High Rate of SARS-CoV-2 Transmission Due to Choir Practice in France at the Beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Nathalie Charlotte

Summary: This is a case study documenting a high transmission rate of SARS-CoV-2 associated with an indoor choir rehearsal in France at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of 27 participants, 19 were diagnosed with COVID-19 within 1 to 12 days after the rehearsal, with 36% requiring hospitalization and 21% being admitted to an ICU. The researchers recommend the suspension of indoor choir practices in the absence of effective barrier measures.

Do plexiglass barriers reduce the risk for transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)?

Jennifer L. Cadnum et al.

Summary: This passage discusses the installation of barriers in workplace situations to maintain physical distancing, and the unknown effectiveness of these barriers in reducing viral transmission. Simulations show that solid barriers without openings are effective in reducing contamination with aerosolized virus or microspheres, while barriers with openings are not.

Laboratory study of physical barrier efficiency for worker protection against SARS-CoV-2 while standing or sitting

Jacob Bartels et al.

Summary: Transparent barriers were found to be effective in preventing aerosol transmission, with a height of 9 to 39 cm above cough height and a width of at least 91 cm being the optimal configurations. The study also highlighted the importance of placing barriers in areas where customer-worker interactions are frequent to maximize efficiency.

Quantifying the effectiveness of desk dividers in reducing droplet and airborne virus transmission

Wenxin Li et al.

Summary: The study found that physical dividers effectively protected individuals from coughing transmission when seated face-to-face at a distance of 1.5 meters, reducing aerosol concentration by 99% at the breathing zone. However, reflection of aerosols from the dividers increased exposure risk to individuals seated beside the infected person, which was substantially reduced by placing the dividers parallel between them.

Indoor aerosol science aspects of SARS-CoV-2 transmission

William W. Nazaroff

Summary: Knowledge on person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2 focuses on emission, transport, and inhalation of virus-containing particles indoors. The study identifies different sizes of particles and their removal methods, emphasizing the importance of masking and social distancing in reducing transmission. Key findings include the predominant indoor transmission, significant contribution of airborne particles to viral spread, and the role of speaking as a major source of viral emissions.

Hybrid measurement of respiratory aerosol reveals a dominant coarse fraction resulting from speech that remains airborne for minutes

Yang Shen et al.

Summary: Accurate measurements of aerosols generated by human activities are crucial for effective mitigation strategies and accurate modeling of respiratory disease transmission. Previous studies using standard aerosol instrumentation have reported different results compared to historical and recent observations. By developing an alternative experimental approach, this study reveals that speech-generated aerosols contain a significant proportion of particles in the 5-20 μm range, which can remain airborne for minutes. This suggests that speech-generated aerosols play a bigger role in disease transmission than previously recognized.

Probable airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a poorly ventilated restaurant

Yuguo Li et al.

Summary: By analyzing a COVID-19 outbreak in a restaurant in Guangzhou, China, the study assessed the possibility of airborne transmission of the virus and characterized the associated environmental conditions. The findings suggest that airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is possible in crowded spaces with a ventilation rate of 1 L/s per person.

SARS-CoV-2 transmission in classroom settings: Effects of mitigation, age, and Delta variant

Aaron Foster et al.

Summary: Traditional classroom settings have been limited during the COVID-19 pandemic due to their potential to transmit the virus. Studies have shown that the most effective mitigation strategies involve using face coverings and ventilation systems combined with air purifiers, while desk shields have proven to be ineffective. Additionally, reduced pulmonary and viral emission rates in small children in elementary school settings drive lower transmission rates than those observed in classrooms with adults, even when considering the Delta variant.

Estimating COVID-19 exposure in a classroom setting: A comparison between mathematical and numerical models

Aaron Foster et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted studies of airborne transmission risk using Wells-Riley and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. Ventilation with moderate filtration in a classroom setting can reduce infection transmission probability significantly. Individual transmission route infection probabilities vary significantly, with local air patterns being the main driving factor.

Mitigating COVID-19 infection disease transmission in indoor environment using physical barriers

Chen Ren et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of barrier heights on reducing the spread of aerosol particles in an open office environment, finding that a barrier height of at least 60 cm is needed to effectively prevent virus transmission. For workstations within 4 meters from the outlet, a barrier height of 70 cm is recommended, with proper ventilation, the barriers can reduce the infection risk by 72%.
