Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the challenges in determining minimum ventilation rates needed to prevent airborne infections due to unknown quanta generation rates of viruses like SARS-CoV-2.
- Researchers investigated a specific outbreak in a restaurant using various analytical methods, revealing that all secondary infections occurred in one zone (Zone B) while two other interconnected zones remained unaffected.
- The findings suggest that the quanta generation rates during this outbreak were extremely high, indicating that simply relying on air dilution may not be enough to prevent infections in spaces with super-spreader events, necessitating the development of additional prevention strategies.
Background: Nosocomial outbreaks of Candida auris, a multidrug-resistant fungus, are increasingly reported worldwide; the mode of transmission has usually been reported to be via direct contact. Some studies previously suggested potential short-distance air dispersal during high-turbulence activities, but evidence on long-range air dispersal remains scarce.
Aim: To describe a C.
