These areas could not be used for non-COVID-19 patients until all the environmental samples collected were negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection. In this study, surface samples collected from the examination rooms were all negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection, and the samples collected from isolation wards and other places were also negative for viral RNA detection, which indicated that the terminal disinfection was effective. Other researches had revealed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in aerosol, which indicated the air could be contaminated by the virus, and patients could be infected in the isolation wards [12, 28] .
