El virus detrás de la pandemia COVID-19 puede permanecer infeccioso en el aire durante más de 12 horas, según una investigación preliminar realizada en cuatro de los principales laboratorios de EE. UU. Los científicos involucrados en esta investigación advierten que la patogenicidad del COVID-19 en el aire puede haber sido subestimada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Todavía no está claro qué cantidad de virus SARS-CoV-2 necesitaría inhalar para enfermarse, pero los investigadores están descubriendo que es notablemente resistente en el aire cuando se pulveriza en partículas más pequeñas.

¿Qué significa esto para los médicos en primera línea? ¿Estos hallazgos cambian las recomendaciones que los médicos hacen a los pacientes? Únase a MCN para una sesión de preguntas y respuestas sobre este tema con Chad Roy, PhD, microbiólogo y Director de los programas de investigación de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Biodefensa en la Universidad de Tulane y Ed Zuroweste, MD, director médico fundador de MCN.

Chad Roy, PhD
Dr. Roy is a microbiologist and director of the infectious disease aerobiology and biodefense research programs at Tulane University’s National Primate Center. He has focused his career on respiratory health and the aerobiology of airborne infectious diseases; specifically, on gaining a better understanding of aerosol infection in the context of the development and application of preclinical disease models; the majority of efforts are directed in the use of the nonhuman primate for this purpose. He is currently engaged in COVID-19 research, including serving as principal investigator of a $10.3 million National Institutes of Health grant to evaluate the nation's most promising vaccines and treatments to combat the disease.
