Matthew Dryden*, Stephen Kidd, Nathan Moore and Afroze Khan

Published: 30 October, 2020 | Volume 4 - Issue 1 | Pages: 023-024

Viral transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19 is very high within households despite self isolation [1,2]. Transmission of the virus is thought to be similar to that of influenza. Virus is shed into respiratory secretions which can be transferred through coarse droplets or fine aerosol released when a person coughs, sneezes or talks. These droplets/aerosols may infect another either by direct contact with the mucous membranes or through fomite transmission.
