Abstract

Mask, social distancing, and hygiene are followed as primary precautions in order to be protected from the SARS-CoV-2 infection. At the beginning of the pandemic, the virus was considered to be transmitted by droplets and aerosols during medical procedures generating aerosolization. However, case clusters published later on proved that the virus was also transmitted by aerosols in indoors and in settings with bad ventilation. This study aimed to discuss the experimental and epidemiological data supporting aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Özet

Maske, mesafe ve hijyen; SARS-CoV-2 infeksiyonundan korunmak için başta gelen önlemler olarak uygulanmaktadır. Pandeminin başında virüsün öncelikle damlacıkla, aerosolizasyon oluşturan medikal işlemler sırasında da aerosolle bulaştığı düşünülmüştür. Ancak daha sonra yayımlanan vaka kümelenmeleri, kapalı ve havalandırması kötü ortamlarda virüsün aerosol yolu ile de bulaştığına işaret etmiştir. Bu yazıda SARS-CoV-2’nin aerosolle bulaşını destekleyen deneysel ve epidemiyolojik veriler ele alınmıştır
