ALT Title: "Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosol and surface samples in high acuity hospital settings during community epidemic waves." By C Raina MacIntyre, et al. Infographic components: β’ Mixed sampling methods for pathogen detection: Aerosol pathogen surveillance, Swabs of surface/PPE/patient equipment, and Measurement of CO2 and PM2.5. β’ Diagnostic Testing: RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 in ICU and ED settings. β’ Key findings: SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 39% of aerosol samples. The ED had significantly more detections than the ICU (80% vs 20%; p < 0.0027) and a higher mean CO2 level (669 ppm vs 522 ppm; p < 0.05). β’ Floor plan: Map highlights positive aerosol sample locations: 1 in the ED walkway, 6 in the public waiting room, and 9 in the acute care bay.
