The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases in recent decades has posed a serious
threat to public health. Routes of transmission differ, but the respiratory droplet or airborne …

Since the outbreak of COVID‐19 in December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV‐2) has spread worldwide. This study summarized the …

Face mask filters—textile, surgical, or respiratory—are widely used in an effort to limit the
spread of airborne viral infections. Our understanding of the droplet dynamics around a face …

The use of face masks in public settings has been widely recommended by public health
officials during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The masks help mitigate the risk of cross …

In this study, the motion and distribution of droplets containing coronaviruses emitted by
coughing of an infected person in front of a classroom (eg, a teacher) were investigated …

Violent respiratory diseases, ie, coronavirus (COVID-19), spread through saliva in coughs
and sneezes or are even exhaled in the form of microbial pathogen micro-droplets …

Scientists across disciplines, policymakers, and journalists have voiced frustration at the
unprecedented polarization and misinformation around coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID …

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread pattern continues to show that
geographical barriers alone cannot contain a virus. Asymptomatic carriers play a critical role …

In this paper, we develop a first principles model that connects respiratory droplet physics
with the evolution of a pandemic such as the ongoing Covid-19. The model has two parts …

Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infectious virions are viable on various surfaces (eg,
plastic, metals, and cardboard) for several hours. This presents a transmission cycle for …
