Currently there are no studies reporting airborne viable (replication-competent) SARS-CoV-2 virus J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f in hospital settings where infected patients are cared for, but not subjected to medical AGPs, by healthcare workers wearing surgical masks.	./cache/cord-335122-8s3bcyo8.txt	./txt/cord-335122-8s3bcyo8.txt
