The goal of the study was to confirm that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can spread through the air indoors. The researchers used "COVID-19 traps" with different surfaces to collect virus particles from rooms of patients with COVID-19. They found evidence of aerosol dissemination of the virus, showing that it can spread through the air in indoor settings.
