Ten scientific reasons in support of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (15 April 2021)

Summary

In this comment piece, published by the Lancet, authors propose that it is a scientific error to use lack of direct evidence of SARS-CoV-2 in some air samples to cast doubt on airborne transmission while overlooking the quality and strength of the overall evidence base. There is consistent, strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 spreads by airborne transmission. Although other routes can contribute, they believe that the airborne route is likely to be dominant.
