Our observations underscore the urgent need for new knowledge on respiratory virus transmission routes and the implementation of this knowledge in infection control guidelines to advance intervention strategies for currently circulating and newly emerging viruses and to improve public health. Increasing numbers of studies focused on the detection and quantification of influenza viruses contained in droplets and aerosols expelled into the air through breathing, sneezing and coughing of infected individuals The SARS outbreak was primarily linked to healthcare settings, with 49% of the cases linked to hospitals [71] , most probably caused by aerosol-generating procedures on severely ill patients [72, 73] . ./cache/cord-263764-2ewz8ok4.txt ./txt/cord-263764-2ewz8ok4.txt
