Determining the transmissibility, prevalence and patterns of movement of severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections is central to our understanding …

Objectives To evaluate the potential for long distance airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2
in indoor community settings and to investigate factors that might influence transmission …

Although airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-
CoV-2) has been recognized, the condition of ventilation for its occurrence is still being …

Some infectious diseases, including COVID-19, can undergo airborne transmission. This
may happen at close proximity, but as time indoors increases, infections can occur in shared …

Ambient temperature and humidity strongly affect inactivation rates of enveloped viruses, but
a mechanistic, quantitative theory of these effects has been elusive. We measure the stability …

The COVID-19 pandemic is the most severe pandemic caused by a respiratory virus since
the 1918 influenza pandemic. As is the case with other respiratory viruses, three modes of …

The unprecedented coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has made more than 125 million …

To quantify the fate of respiratory droplets under different ambient relative humidities, direct
numerical simulations of a typical respiratory event are performed. We found that, because …

Background The occupational risk of COVID-19 may be different in the first versus second
epidemic wave. Aim To study whether employees in occupations that typically entail close …

Uncertainty remains on the threshold of ventilation rate in airborne transmission of SARS-
CoV-2. We analyzed a COVID-19 outbreak in January 2020 in Hunan Province, China …
