Sore throat with or without fever, sneezing, hoarseness may be prodromic symptoms of a COVID-19 infection in the incubation period. Direct contact of droplet spray produced by coughing, sneezing, or talking involves relatively large droplets containing organisms and requires close contact usually within 1 m. Moreover, the total number of droplets generated during sneeze is also larger than that of other respiratory activities. The high-speed airflow and corresponding turbulence produced by sneeze may also lead to a large number of droplets, that is, the number of the droplets generated by sneeze is about 18 times larger than that of cough.
