aerosol-borne SARS-CoV-2 in indoor environments

We are conducting a research study to determine whether the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is present and viable in indoor air at a distance greater than 6 feet from people with active infections. To accomplish this, the research team will collect air samples with multiple sampling devices over a 4-5 hour period in the living environments of people with known SARS-CoV-2 infections. Sites include residence halls and homes (i.e., main living area) of people with active infections who are quarantining alone.
