"Aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, whether through direct respiratory droplet transfer or fomite generation, may in fact be a more important exposure transmission pathway than previously considered"

"individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have the
capacity to produce viral bioaerosols that may remain infectious over long periods of
time after production via human shedding and airborne transport."

"this preliminary dataset on the aerosol efficiency and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 suggest that this virus is remarkably resilient in aerosol form, even when aged for
over 12 hours"

"These data suggest that
SARS-CoV-2 generally maintains infectivity when airborne over short distances"

"Results of the aerosol suspension
experiments suggest that SARS-CoV-2 is persistent over longer periods of time than
would be expected when generated as a highly respirable particle (2 µm MMAD)"

"..a minor but constant fraction of the SARS-Cov2 virus maintained replication-competence at all timepoints performed,
including when sampled at 16 hours of aerosol suspension."
