随着公共卫生团队应对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行，遏制和了解严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）的传播模式对政策制定至关重要。在此期间，政府机构一直在指导社区洗手和身体距离措施。然而，对于SARS-CoV-2气溶胶传播的作用没有达成一致。为此，我们旨在审查SARS-CoV-2气溶胶传播的证据。几项研究支持SARS-CoV-2的气溶胶传播是合理的，可信度评分（综合证据权重）为8/9。预防性控制策略应考虑气溶胶传播，以有效缓解SARS-CoV-2。
As public health teams respond to the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), containment and understanding of the modes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission is of utmost importance for policy making. During this time, governmental agencies have been instructing the community on handwashing and physical distancing measures. However, there is no agreement on the role of aerosol transmission for SARS-CoV-2. To this end, we aimed to review the evidence of aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Several studies support that aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is plausible, and the plausibility score (weight of combined evidence) is 8 out of 9. Precautionary control strategies should consider aerosol transmission for effective mitigation of SARS-CoV-2.
