TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the available epidemiological findings on transmission of different pathogens during CPR and data on reluctance of health care workers to perform CPR, and outline the levels of personal protective equipment and other protective measures according to potential infectious hazards that providers are potentially exposed to during CPR.

Aerosol Generating Procedures and Risk of Transmission of Acute Respiratory Infections to Healthcare Workers: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: It is suggested that some procedures potentially capable of generating aerosols have been associated with increased risk of SARS transmission to HCWs or were a risk factor for transmission, with the most consistent association across multiple studies identified with tracheal intubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Contagiousness and Rapid Spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
TL;DR: It is shown that active surveillance, contact tracing, quarantine, and early strong social distancing efforts are needed to stop transmission of the virus.
