😷 Single-use N95 respirators (N95) have been an invaluable component of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers (HCW) against SARS-CoV-2. There was an urgent need to take and adapt conservation strategies to extend the useful life of N95 during worldwide shortages.
This publication demonstrates the success of a mixed protocol under crisis capacity such as the COVID-19 pandemic, based on scientific evidence and standardized, validated and controlled, to certify safety and effectiveness of the N95 without adding risks to HCW.

Are you planning to take the train to attend one of the upcoming conferences? 🚅 A Chinese working group has investigated the risk of COVID-19 transmission among individual train passengers.
The transmission risk of COVID-19 on high-speed train passengers was quantified using data from 2334 index patients and 72 093 close contacts who had co-travel times of 0–8 hours between December 2019 and March 2020. Spatial and temporal distribution of COVID-19 transmission among train passengers were analyzed to elucidate the associations between infection, spatial distance, and co-travel time.
In their conclusion, the authors state that COVID-19 has a high transmission risk among train passengers, but this risk shows significant differences with co-travel time and seat location.
