It is Time to Address Airborne Transmission of COVID-19

We appeal to the medical community and to the relevant national and international bodies to recognize the potential for airborne spread of COVID-19. There is significant potential for inhalation exposure to viruses in microscopic respiratory droplets (microdroplets) at short to medium distance (up to several meters, or room scale), and we are advocating for the use of preventive measures to mitigate this route of airborne transmission.
