Coronavirus lingers in air of Covid-19 wards, finds study | Hyderabad News

Image used for representational purpose only HYDERABAD: After finding the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in drinking water, sewage and hospital walls, scientists have now isolated the virus from air samples collected from designated Covid-19 wards. Researchers at city-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) and Chandigarh-based Institute of Microbial Technology (IMT) have studied three hospitals each in Hyderabad and Chandigarh to find if the novel coronavirus was present in the atmosphere. They found the virus was circulating in the special Covid-19 wards or hospitals, while those treating non-Covid-19 patients did not contain any traces of the virus. CCMB and IMT researchers used an air sampler that collected virus particles, and then looked for their presence using RT-PCR. The study was published on preprint server MedRxiv.

Air-borne transmission of SARS-Cov2 likely

Updated Jan 6, 2021, 8:14 pm IST SARS-Cov2 virus samples found in hospital air of Covid-19 wards; not in non-Covid-19 wards  it was found that more number of patients meant generation of more virus particles. Hyderabad: Sars-Cov-2 virus samples have been found in the hospital air of Covid-19 wards but not in non-Covid 19 wards, according to a CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology study. Three hospitals each from Hyderabad and Chandigarh participated in the study. In the study, researchers found the virus in infectious aerosols measuring the size of less than 5µm. The smaller sized aerosols could get formed due to evaporation of water from larger respiratory droplets. Scientists from CCMB state that the smaller sized aerosols could stay suspended in air for longer durations of more than 2hours and were found to travel longer distances of 2meters.
