    Snippet: The coronavirus disease 2019 , which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has rapidly spread around the globe, with nearly one million confirmed cases and nearly 50,000 deaths recorded by 2 April 2020. 1 The epidemic characteristics suggest that droplets during close contact and fomites may mediate transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 2 It has also been 'envisaged' that there may be airborne spread due to certain aerosol-generating procedures in h.....
    Document: The coronavirus disease 2019 , which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has rapidly spread around the globe, with nearly one million confirmed cases and nearly 50,000 deaths recorded by 2 April 2020. 1 The epidemic characteristics suggest that droplets during close contact and fomites may mediate transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 2 It has also been 'envisaged' that there may be airborne spread due to certain aerosol-generating procedures in healthcare facilities. 2 The role of the faecal-oral route remains to be determined, following the detection of the virus in stools. [3] [4] [5] Crucially, however, the relative importance of these routes remains unknown. Significant infection has also occurred in hospitals. According to China CDC Weekly 2020, 6 1,716 of the 44,672 Covid-19 cases confirmed in China by 11 February 2020 were in healthcare workers. Thus, understanding the infection risk in a hospital environment is essential to protect healthcare workers.
