cord-325234-skshcrh1	Jin, Tingxu	SARS-CoV-2 presented in the air of an intensive care unit (ICU)	2020-08-15		.txt	text/plain	4276	205	54	Therefore, with an objective to test the hypothesis of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2, it is necessary to 1) determine whether SARS-CoV-2 particles are present in the indoor air and 2) determine whether recovered patients are still shedding virus, thus providing much-needed environmental evidence for the management of COVID-19 patients during the recovery period. To date, some studies have reported the presence of SARS-CoV-2 particles in the air in isolation rooms from hospitals treating COVID-19 patients (Yuanfang J,2020; Guo, Wang, Zhang, Li, & Chen,2020; Joshua L. Therefore, our study aims to 1) determine whether SARS-CoV-2 particles are present in the indoor air, with an objective to test the hypothesis of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and 2) determine whether recovered patients are still shedding SARS-CoV-2 particles, thus providing much-needed environmental evidence for the management of COVID-19 patients during the recovery period. Our findings revealed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the indoor air of the ICU and indicate that the virus may be shed via aerosol for days, even after a patient has tested negative.	./cache/cord-325234-skshcrh1.txt	./txt/cord-325234-skshcrh1.txt
