    Abstract
    Background:
    The role of fecal aerosols in the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been suspected.

    Objective:
    To investigate the temporal and spatial distributions of 3 infected families in a high-rise apartment building and examine the associated environment variables to verify the role of fecal aerosols.

    Design:
    Epidemiologic survey and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses on throat swabs from the participants; 237 surface and air samples from 11 of the 83 flats in the building, public areas, and building drainage systems; and tracer gas released into bathrooms as a surrogate for virus-laden aerosols in the drainage system.

    • 9月1日，Annals of Internal Medicine期刊发表了题为“Probable Evidence of Fecal Aerosol Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a High-Rise Building”的文章。 文章指出，人们怀疑粪便气溶胶在传播SARS-CoV-2中的作用。研究人员分析了广州的一栋高层公寓楼内3个受感染家庭的时空分布，并检查相关的环境变量，以验证粪便气溶胶传播SARS-CoV-2的作用。文章研究结果显示，3个家庭确诊9名感染者。第一个家庭有前往COVID-19疫情震中武汉的旅行史，而另外2个家庭没有旅行史，并且发病较晚。未发现通过电梯或其他方式传播的证据。这些家庭住在主浴室由排水管连接的3个垂直对齐的公寓中。观察到的感染病例和呈阳性的环境样本的位置都符合含病毒气溶胶通过这些烟囱和通风口垂直传播的情况。该研究的局限性在于无法确定受感染家庭的公寓中水封（设在卫生器具排水口下，用来抵抗排水管内气压差变化，防止排水管道系统中气体窜入室内的一定高度的水柱）是否变干。文章得出结论：粪便气溶胶的传播可能导致了该高层建筑中COVID-19的社区爆发。 原文链接：https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-0928

We analyzed data from field investigations and genetic sequencing to describe the evidence and characteristics of human-to-human transmission in Guangdong Province. Methods: A confirmed COVID-19 case was defined if a suspected case was verified with positive of SARS-CoV-2 in throat swabs, nasal swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), or endotracheal aspirates by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay (RT-PCR) or genetic sequencing. Field investigations were conducted for each confirmed case. Clinical and demographic data of confirmed cases were collected from medical records. Exposure and travel history were obtained by interview. Results: A total of 1,151 confirmed cases were identified as of February 10, 2020 in Guangdong Province, China. Of them, 697 (60.1%) cases were from 234 cluster infections. Two hundred and fourteen (18.6%) were secondary cases, in which 144 cases were from family cluster infections. With the epidemic continuing, although familial cluster events were dominated, community cluster events increased with a nosocomial event. The whole genomes within the same family cluster infections were identical, and presented a few unique single nucleotide variants (SNVs) compared with SARS-CoV-2 identified on December 2019 in Wuhan. Conclusions: We observed evident human-to-human transmissions of SARS-CoV-2 in Guangdong, China. Although most of them were from family cluster infections, community and nosocomial infections were increasing. Our findings indicate that human-to-human transmission risks are transferring from family to community in Guangdong Province. *注，本文为预印本论文手稿，是未经同行评审的初步报告，其观点仅供科研同行交流，并不是结论性内容，请使用者谨慎使用.
