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.
