COVID-19 coronavirus may be transmitted by breathing: report

The video tutorial discusses the primary transmission routes of SARS-CoV-2, focusing on respiratory droplets and aerosols. It cites various studies, including those from the New England Journal of Medicine and Wuhan University, highlighting the virus's ability to remain airborne and resuspend in healthcare settings. The effectiveness of masks in reducing virus spread is also examined, with references to ongoing research.
