Experimental aerosol survival of SARS-CoV-2 in artificial saliva and tissue culture media at medium and high humidity	2020-06-22		.txt	text/plain	1391	81	57	title: Experimental aerosol survival of SARS-CoV-2 in artificial saliva and tissue culture media at medium and high humidity In this study, the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to survive in the dark, at two different relative humidity values and within artificial saliva, a clinically relevant matrix, was investigated. SARS-CoV-2 was found to be stable, in the dark, in a dynamic small particle aerosol under the four experimental conditions we tested and viable virus could still be detected after 90 minutes. A recent study has shown the Washington variant of SARS-CoV-2 remains viable in a small particle aerosol for long periods [2] . Here we extend that research to look at a UK variant of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols, at different relative humidity values, and in artificial saliva. SARS-CoV-2 England-2 variant was aerosolised in tissue culture media or in artificial saliva and maintained in a dynamic aerosol at medium RH (40-60%) or high RH (68-88%) (Supplementary Material: Table 1 ).	./cache/cord-299133-09mbiqrr.txt	./txt/cord-299133-09mbiqrr.txt
