Summary
This pilot study aimed to find out if the COVID-19 virus can travel through the air during abdominal surgery on infected patients. Only 2 people took part, and researchers collected air samples at different distances from the surgical site. The goal was to help decide what protective gear is needed for surgical staff, but the very small size means results are not conclusive.
