  Influenza vaccination appears to be effective in reducing the risk of developing influenza virus infection, although this could be improved further with enhanced patient education and access to vaccination. Of the 13 patients with an RVI, nine had non-influenza infections (two entero-/rhinoviruses, five NL63 and one HKU1 coronaviruses, one human metapneumovirus), three had influenza infections alone (two influenza A/H3N2, one influenza B), and one was multiply infected with influenza B, corona-OC43 and entero-/ rhinoviruses.

An experimental model demonstrated that, despite negative pressure, opening the door could have resulted in transport of infectious air out of the isolation room, leading to a breakdown in isolation conditions.

summary:
  To gain a greater understanding of the transmission dynamics of certain airborne diseases and to increase hygiene standards through improved infection control, bioaerosol sampling studies have frequently focused on healthcare environments. Bioaerosol particles enter the apparatus through a slit, causing the particles to impact on the slowly rotating agar plate below.

  [Chinese journal of preventive medicine Indirect Virus Transmission in Cluster of COVID-19 Cases Familial cluster of COVID-19 infection from an asymptomatic Potential Presymptomatic Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Asymptomatic and Human-to-Human Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a 2-Family Cluster Presumed Asymptomatic Carrier Transmission of COVID-19 The epidemiological characteristics of an outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) Covid-19: four fifths of cases are asymptomatic, China figures indicate COVID-19 transmission through asymptomatic carriers is a challenge to containment. Table III summarizes the frequency and magnitude of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA loads in respiratory tract samples obtained from COVID-19 patients.
