Conclusions

1.)   Aerosol-based transmission is the primary mode of COVID-19 transmission.

Recommendations

1.)   Fever Screening eliminates symptomatic individuals from settings where people gather and is therefore the most effective means of reducing the spread of COVID-19. 

2.)   Managing forced and natural convection to reduce aerosol pathways, aerosol clouds, and aerosol-cloud mass is essential to reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the event an infected person is in a social gathering. 

3.)   Measuring CO2 concentrations as a surrogate for fresh air circulation reduces the risk of aerosol particle build up in a room.

4.)   Measuring particulate (>10, >2.5 and >0.3) micron as a surrogate for airborne (droplet and aerosol) virus concentrations reduces the risk of aerosol particle build up in a room.

5.) Surface Testing using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) testing to determine fomite-based transmission.

6.)   Wearing masks to create a protective barrier and to reduce the number of droplet and aerosol particles in the air. Wearing a mask will prevent projecting large particles on people during a cough or sneeze. Wearing a mask will not prevent aerosol-based transmission events as the coronavirus is less than 1 micron in diameter.  Masks are effective for droplet events but do not provide protection from aerosol-based transmission in enclosed spaces for meetings of 2 hours or more in duration.

Aerosol-based Transmission: Are you in the pathway?

Social distancing will not protect anyone in a case such as this.
This student is always equidistant to the speaker (and over 6ft away),
but the outcomes are very different.

On the left, all students are infected with COVID-19.  
On the right, no transmission or infection occurs at all. 
COVID-19 aerosol-based transmission is entirely dependent on the airflow pathway.
