5. UK Government - "Hands-Face-Space" - mentions aerosol transmission
Time: 1.15 - "smaller droplets called aerosols can stay in the air for some time - especially if there is no ventilation"

7. CDC FAQ (9 Oct) says, "It spreads through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols.. These particles can be inhaled...and cause infection. This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads." https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html#Spread

8. WHO - Transmission of SARS-COV-2 (includes airborne transmission)
SARS-CoV-2 may also spread through aerosols in the absence of aerosol-generating procedures, particularly in indoor settings with poor ventilation. https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/transmission-of-sars-cov-2-implications-for-infection-prevention-precautions

9. John Snow Memorandum (15 Oct) - Scientific consensus on COVID-19 pandemic: we need to act now.
@adamhamdy
SARS-CoV-2 spreads through contact (via larger droplets and aerosols), & longer-range transmission via aerosols, especially..ventilation is poor.
