Research examines the stability of SARS-CoV-2 variants in aerosols, finding significant decay in infectivity over time. pH and salt content play a role in virus stability.
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with a 1.31 higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer following hospital discharge, particularly renal, hematological, colon, and lung cancers, suggesting a potential link between the infection and undiagnosed cancer.
