   "The room is empty, so I can't get a #COVID19 infection."

   STUDY: "Whole genome sequencing during an outbreak suggested in-room transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to two patients admitted nearly 2 and 5 hours, respectively, after discharge of an asymptomatic infected patient. These findings suggest that airborne SARS-CoV-2 may transmit infection for over 4 hours, even in a hospital setting."

   Q: If you walk into a room where someone with #COVID has been previously, how long can infectious virus 🦠 still be present?

   A: Potentially, nearly 5 hours!

   These researchers found that genetically identical #SarsCoV2 infected a patient who was admitted 4 hrs, 45 min post D/C of an asympto infected pt. Have to wonder if it’d be even longer if they’d been symptomatic…
