A Review of Evidences of Aerosol Transmission of SARSCoV-2 Particles
Abstract
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 disease through multiple transmission routes and understanding the mode of transmission is utmost importance for its containment and prevention. Consequently, adequate attention has been given to the control of the spread of respiratory droplets in outdoor conditions under microclimatologic turbulent wind promoted by aerosol from talking (loud), coughing, sneezing, toilet flushing of isolation room, leading to resuspension of settled virus from the surfaces. To this end, this study is presenting review of the early process and evidence of aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 particles. There are significant results from many studies including those under peer review that support the aerosol and airborne transmission which government agency should consider for reducing the transmission chain.
