新型严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）于2019年底起源于中国武汉，其导致的冠状病毒疾病COVID-19于2020年3月11日被世界卫生组织宣布为大流行病。COVID-19在全球的快速传播可能是世纪以来最重大的公共卫生紧急事件。随着大流行的发展，关于SARS-CoV-2传播途径的证据仍然缺乏，导致感染预防和控制指南在经典定义的空气传播和飞沫预防措施之间发生变化。在内布拉斯加大学医学中心对13名COVID-19患者进行初步隔离期间，我们收集了空气和表面样本，以检查被隔离个体的病毒脱落。我们在所有样本中检测到病毒污染，支持在护理COVID-19患者时使用空气隔离预防措施。
The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) originated in Wuhan, China in late 2019, and its resulting coronavirus disease, COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The rapid global spread of COVID-19 represents perhaps the most significant public health emergency in a century. As the pandemic progressed, a continued paucity of evidence on routes of SARS-CoV-2 transmission has resulted in shifting infection prevention and control guidelines between classically-defined airborne and droplet precautions. During the initial isolation of 13 individuals with COVID-19 at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, we collected air and surface samples to examine viral shedding from isolated individuals. We detected viral contamination among all samples, supporting the use of airborne isolation precautions when caring for COVID-19 patients.
