- SARS-CoV-2 transmission across the globe: Although warmer weather might slightly reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, no evidence has suggested that warmer conditions will reduce the effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to an extent that few additional interventions are needed to curb its spread https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/piis2542-5196(20)30106-6/fulltext 3 comments science
- Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a chewing gum that can bind to SARS-CoV-2 in the saliva, potentially helping to reduce viral transmission. https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/chewing-gum-could-reduce-sars-cov-2-transmission 13 comments science

- The airborne transmission of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 via aerosol particles in indoor environment seems to be strongly influenced by relative humidity. A relative humidity of 40 to 60 percent could reduce the spread of the viruses and their absorption through the nasal mucous membrane. https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/coronavirus-sars-cov-2-breitet-sich-bei-niedriger-luftfeuchtigkeit-in-innenraeumen-staerker-aus 128 comments science
- High-quality studies have shown that use of face masks in the community is associated with reduced transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and is likely to be an important component of an effective response to a future respiratory threat. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2811136 179 comments science
- A chewing gum that could reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission. A chewing gum laced with a plant-grown protein serves as a “trap” for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, reducing viral load in saliva and potentially tamping down transmission, according to a new study. https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/chewing-gum-could-reduce-sars-cov-2-transmission 18 comments science
- Virucidal efficacy of different oral rinses against SARS-CoV-2: Results from cell culture experiments show that commercially available mouthwashes are effective against Sars-Cov-2 could thus help to reduce the viral load and possibly the risk of coronavirus transmission over the short term https://academic.oup.com/jid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/infdis/jiaa471/5878067 3 comments science
