Abstrakt

The relevance of aerosols for the transmission of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still debated. However, over time, in addition to distancing and hygiene rules, aerosol physics-based measures such as wearing face masks and ventilating indoor spaces were found to be efficient in reducing infections. In an interdisciplinary workshop "Aerosol & SARS-CoV-2" of the Association for Aerosol Research (GAeF) in cooperation with the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine (DGP), the Professional Association of General Air Technology of the VDMA, the German Society for Virology (GfV), the Health Technology Society (GG) and the International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM) under the auspices of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in March 2021, the need for research and coordination on this topic was addressed. Fundamental findings from the various disciplines as well as interdisciplinary perspectives on aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and infection mitigation measures are summarized here. Finally, open research questions and needs are presented.
