BEST PRACTICES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DETECTION AND MONITORING OF AIRBORNE VIRUSES WITH CORIOLIS®AIR SAMPLERS
The rapid global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents perhaps the most significant public health emergency and many countries are experiencing ongoing local transmission despite varying levels of control effects.
The rapid global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents perhaps the most significant public health emergency and many countries are experiencing ongoing local transmission despite varying levels of control effects.
Evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can remain feasible in aerosol for at least 3 hours, and days on surfaces. Moreover, other emerging corona virus diseases (SARS and MERS) have airborne transmission capacity besides more direct contact and droplet transmission.
So, understanding the various transmission routes of SARS-CoV-2 is critical in planning efficient intervention to break the chain of transmission.
