The authors state that the novel coronavirus is spread via aerosols and the faecal-oral route, in spite of a largely undeveloped evidence-base in support of these pathways. 2 Indeed, aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) are implied in facilitating airborne transmission but limited evidence is available to support this for SARS-CoV-2. The authors imply confirmation of the faecal-oral route and reference a paper by Meng and colleagues however this seems to have been misinterpreted. Although the suggested infection control measures for oral healthcare settings seem practical, a thorough awareness of transmission routes is pre-requisite to devising effective advice.
