Aerosol and Surface Stability of SARS-CoV-2 as Compared with SARS-CoV-1: Aerosol Results

SARS-CoV-2 was viable in aerosols throughout the 3-hour study (titer went from $10^{3.5} $to $10^{2.7}$ $TCID_{50}$ per liter of air), as was SARS-CoV-1 (titer went from $10^{4.3} $to $10^{3.5}$ $TCID_{50}$ per milliliter). The half-life of SARS-CoV-2 was 1.1-1.2 hours (95% credible intervals 0.64, 2.64).
