Assessing airborne transmission risks in COVID-19 hospitals by systematically monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in the air

ABSTRACT The continuous emergence of highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 variants with the capability of immune evasion demands more effective risk assessment and management approaches for infection prevention and control. Controlling nosocomial transmission is critical in response to the COVID-19 pandemic...
