    Snippet: Traditional definitions for transmission routes include the airborne route (also referred as aerosol transmission) (21) , large droplet route, and contact route (6, 22) . However, such definitions are somewhat ambiguous. Firstly, the cut-off size of droplets for airborne transmission has always been controversial (8, 22, 23) . The droplet nuclei, first defined by Wells (24) , refers to the residues of droplets after complete evaporation. Centers .....
    Document: Traditional definitions for transmission routes include the airborne route (also referred as aerosol transmission) (21) , large droplet route, and contact route (6, 22) . However, such definitions are somewhat ambiguous. Firstly, the cut-off size of droplets for airborne transmission has always been controversial (8, 22, 23) . The droplet nuclei, first defined by Wells (24) , refers to the residues of droplets after complete evaporation. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defined the cut-off size of 5 µm for airborne transmission (25) , and the threshold distance for airborne transmission is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as 1.0 m (26).
