High-Level Project Summary

we believe in the power of the social and behavioral sciences to convert the best medical research into policies, practices, and procedures to improve – and even save – lives. This collection includes the latest medical research from SAGE related to the virus as well as top social and behavioral research to help individuals, communities, and leaders make the best decisions on dealing with the outbreak and its consequences.

Detailed Project Description

ncreasing evidence supports the significant role of short-range airborne transmission of viruses when in close contact with a source patient. A full-scale ventilated room (Cleanliness: ISO 14644–1 Class 5) and two face-to-face standing breathing thermal manikins were used to simulate a source individual and a susceptible person. Monodisperse particle generation and measurement techniques were used to evaluate the effect of virus-laden droplet nuclei size on short-range airborne transmission risk. We analysed four particle sizes (1.0, 1.5, 2.5, and 5.0 µm) to simulate the transport of exhaled droplet nuclei within an interpersonal distance of 0.5 m. The results indicated that the size distribution of airborne droplet nuclei could significantly influence
