Sponsor's own description

Modes of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and specifically the proportion of airborne transmission in this infection is unknown. In the aeroCOVID study, a highly efficient bioaerosol and droplet sampling dummy is used to emulate a susceptible healthcare worker (HCW) and to perform patient proximity sampling. The dummy will measure the dummy-inhaled dose of SARS-CoV-2 in two particle size fractions in a standardized interaction with hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. All measurements are performed in a masked and unmasked dummy setup in parallel, in order to gain further information on the protection of type II masks against the respective particle size exposure.
