SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) has been detected in feces, but RNA is not infectious. This systematic review aims to answer if fecal SARS-CoV-2 is experimentally infectious and if evidence of human fecal-oral SARS-CoV-2 transmission exists.

Focused Multivector Ultraviolet (FMUV) technology rapidly killed the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in-vitro. Plates were inoculated with a mean of greater than 106 plaque forming units (PFUs) of USA-WA1 Washington index patient strain of SARS-CoV-2 and

As of May 30, 2021 approximately only 50% of the total US adult population received full vaccination against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) after the resulting novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) contributed to

There have been consistent reports of healthcare personnel (HCP) acquiring COVID-19 as a result of workplace exposure.1,2 Following the tenets of basic infection prevention (IP) (e.g., wearing masks, appropriate hand hygiene, physical distancing)

SARS-CoV-2 is a highly infectious respiratory virus that is primarily transmitted by respiratory aerosols and droplets emitted during activities such as talking, breathing, and coughing.1, 2 In the past, aerosols have been defined as airborne
