TL;DR: The findings are consistent with person-to-person transmission of this novel coronavirus in hospital and family settings, and the reports of infected travellers in other geographical regions.

TL;DR: The serial respiratory viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in posterior oropharyngeal saliva samples from patients with COVID-19, and serum antibody responses from patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 are ascertained.

TL;DR: A study of 246 individuals with seasonal respiratory virus infections randomized to wear or not wear a surgical face mask showed that masks can significantly reduce detection of coronavirus and influenza virus in exhaled breath and may help interrupt virus transmission.

TL;DR: The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was detected in the self-collected saliva of 91.7% of patients and Serial saliva viral load monitoring generally showed a declining trend.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In a surveillance study for CoV in noncaged animals from the wild areas of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region, a CoV closely related to SARS-CoV is identified from 23 (39%) of 59 anal swabs of wild Chinese horseshoe bats by using RT-PCR and the presence of a 29-bp insertion in ORF 8 of bat-SARS- coV genome suggests that it has a common ancestor with civet SARS -CoV.
