Aerosol Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Two Dormitories — Hubei and Shandong Provinces, China, 2020

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Aerosol transmission is one route for the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, uncertainty remains on the threshold of ventilation rate in its occurrence. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? Based on two cases in Shandong...

description WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Aerosol transmission is one route for the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, uncertainty remains on the threshold of ventilation rate in its occurrence. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? Based on two cases in Shandong Province and Hubei Province, the effect of wearing masks and the minimum ventilation required to reduce coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) aerosol transmission was determined. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? No masking and low ventilation rates lead to a relatively high contribution of aerosols to COVID-19 transmission. Thus, public awareness of wearing masks should increase and the ventilation rate should be sufficiently higher than the minimum required ventilation.
