      Droplet transmission: Droplet transmission could be considered to be a mix of airborne transmission and contact transmission. Droplet transmission occurs when an infected person breathes, coughs, sneezes, or talks and small droplets that are contaminated enter the air and are breathed in by other people.

      Effective screening for and isolation of potentially infectious patients, especially those who may be at risk for airborne or droplet transmission of infectious agents to others, is critical to ensure prompt recognition and isolation as soon as possible after patient arrival. The following measures are recommended to be routinely in place to ...

      Transmission-based precautions can be used for patients with known or suspected to be infected or colonized with epidemiologically important pathogens that can be transmitted by airborne or droplet transmission or by contact with dry skin or contaminated surfaces. These precautions should be used in addition to standard precautions.

      In some instances, however, true airborne transmission (i.e., via droplet nuclei) cannot be excluded as a possible mode of SARS-CoV transmission. SARS-CoV has been transmitted in healthcare settings (e.g., inpatient settings, emergency departments, nursing homes) to and from patients, healthcare workers, and visitors.

      Airborne transmission occurs when airborne droplet nuclei containing infectious agents remain infective over time and distance. Droplet nuclei are ≤5 µm in size and can remain suspended in the air for longer periods of time. They can be dispersed over long distances via air currents, meaning susceptible individuals who have not been in close ...

      The three types of transmission-based precautions—airborne, droplet, and contact—may be combined for diseases that have multiple routes of transmission (e.g., chickenpox).6 Whether used singly or in combination, the precautions should be employed in conjunction with standard precautions.
