TLDR
In this article, an integrated risk assessment is presented for SARS-CoV-2 close proximity exposure between a speaking infectious subject and a susceptible subject, based on a three-dimensional transient numerical model for the description of exhaled droplet spread once emitted by a speaking person, coupled with a recently proposed SARS CoV2 emission approach.About:

COVID-19: the case for aerosol transmission
TL;DR: In this paper , a narrative review makes the case that aerosol transmission is an important mode for COVID-19, through reviewing studies about bioaerosol physiology, detection of infectious SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled bio-aerosols, prolonged SARSinfectivity persistence in aerosols created in the laboratory and detection of SARS in air samples, investigation of outbreaks with manifest involvement of aerosols.

Ventilation regimes of school classrooms against airborne transmission of infectious respiratory droplets: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a literature study was conducted to identify the existing ventilation strategies of school classrooms, to assess their adequacy of minimizing infectious aerosols, and to seek further improvement, concluding that school classrooms are usually equipped with natural ventilation or mixing mechanical ventilation, which are not fully capable to deal with both long-range and short-range airborne transmissions.

A Paradigm Shift to Align Transmission Routes with Mechanisms.
Linsey C. Marr,Julian W. Tang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to modify and align existing guidelines with a more accurate description of the different transmission routes, which will improve the effectiveness of control measures as more transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerge.

TL;DR: It is extremely important, that the national authorities acknowledge the reality that the virus spreads through air, and recommend that adequate control measures be implemented to prevent further spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in particularly removal of the virus-laden droplets from indoor air by ventilation.
