In a preprint published today, researchers collected air samples from six COVID-19 patients. They grouped aerosols between 0.542 and 20 micrometers into three groups of <1, 1-4, and >4 micrometers, resulting in 18 samples. Three of the 18 samples were able to produce viral growth in isolated cells: a 1-4 micrometer sample from one patient, and both <1 and 1-4 micrometer samples from another patient.
