چکیده
It should be noted that a study has reported a significant reduction in the number of infected health care workers in intensive care wards when ventilation rates were increased, even when these workers did not use “adequate” respiratory protection. These results suggest that amount of ventilation in a setting is also important in the occupational transmission of SARS CoV. This finding suggests not only that multiple factors are involved in the prevention of infectious disease among health care professionals, but also that the SARS CoV can be transmitted by an aerosol route in an occupational setting.
