Abstract

In 10-minute speaking, N95 respirators significantly decreased SARS-CoV-2 emissions compared with no-mask wearing. However, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in the air even when wearing N95 and surgical masks in patients with high viral loads. Therefore, universal masking of infected and uninfected persons is important for preventing COVID-19 transmission via the air.

佩戴室内口罩对 SARS-CoV-2 omicron 变异型感染者 10 分钟演讲时空气污染的影响。

在 10 分钟的演讲中，与不戴口罩相比，N95 呼吸器能明显减少 SARS-CoV-2 的排放。然而，在病毒载量高的患者中，即使佩戴 N95 和外科口罩，空气中也能检测到 SARS-CoV-2。因此，对感染者和非感染者普遍佩戴口罩对于防止 COVID-19 通过空气传播非常重要。
