Resumen
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan city, China, in late 2019 and has rapidly spread
throughout the world. The major route of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is in contention, with the airborne route
a likely transmission pathway for carrying the virus within indoor environments. Until now, there has been no
evidence for detection of airborne severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and this
may have implication for the potential spread of the COVID-19. We investigated the air of patient rooms with
confirmed COVID-19 in the largest hospital in Iran, on March 17, 2020. To collect the SARS-CoV-2 particles, ten
air samples were collected into the sterile standard midget impingers containing 20 mL DMEM with
100 μg/mL streptomycin, 100 U/mL penicillin and 1% antifoam reagent for 1 h. Besides, indoor particle number
concentrations, CO2, relative humidity and temperature were recorded throughout the sampling duration.
