First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This small pilot study looked at whether the COVID-19 virus can spread through the air during abdominal surgery on infected patients. Researchers tested air and surfaces near the operating table to see if the virus was present. Only 2 patients took part, so the results are very limited and mainly help design future, larger studies.
