新冠肺炎是由SARS-CoV-2引起的一种新疾病。在全球疫苗接种推广期间，至关重要的是彻底了解病毒的传播方式，以防止变种的进一步传播，并最终结束这一流行病。目前的文献表明，SARS-CoV-2主要通过呼吸道飞沫在人群中传播，其次是通过气雾剂传播。传播似乎受到温度、湿度、降水、气流、酸碱度和周围环境辐射的影响。最后，使用口罩或面罩、社交距离和洗手是减少接触和传播风险的有效公共卫生策略。还需要更多的研究来进一步确定特定的非药物干预的相对益处。
COVID-19 is a novel disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. During the global vaccination rollout, it is vital to thoroughly understand the modes of transmission of the virus in order to prevent further spread of variants and ultimately to end the pandemic. The current literature suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted among the human population primarily through respiratory droplets and, to a lesser extent, via aerosols. Transmission appears to be affected by temperature, humidity, precipitation, air currents, pH, and radiation in the ambient environment. Finally, the use of masks or facial coverings, social distancing, and hand washing are effective public health strategies in reducing the risk of exposure and transmission. Additional research is needed to further characterize the relative benefits of specific nonpharmaceutical interventions.
