We identified seasonal human coronaviruses, influenza
viruses and rhinoviruses in exhaled breath and coughs of children and adults with acute respiratory illness. Surgical face
masks significantly reduced detection of influenza virus RNA
in respiratory droplets and coronavirus RNA in aerosols, with
a trend toward reduced detection of coronavirus RNA in respiratory droplets. Our results indicate that surgical face masks
could prevent transmission of human coronaviruses and influenza viruses from symptomatic individuals
