Description
The authors highly appreciate being contacted if the data is to be used for any purpose.
The following data set was used in the study entitled "Exposure to airborne SARS-CoV-2 in four hospital wards and ICUs of Cyprus. A detailed study accounting for day-to-day operations and aerosol generating procedures." and published in Heliyon Journal.
This study characterized the transmission dynamics of airborne SARS-CoV-2 in normal and intensive care units. The data were collected over the period of 2020. In total, 165 and 62 air and environmental samples, respectively, were collected in four COVID-19 wards and ICUs in Cyprus and analyzed by RT-PCR. The comparison between RT-PCR and an alternative method for SARS-CoV-2 detection in air that provides comparable results but is less cumbersome and time demanding, is also given in the tab "Comparison with BELD".
The data from sampling airborne SARS-CoV-2 using a MOUDI impactor are not included in this document but can be found in the supplement of the relevant publication.
Please refer to the manuscript and its supplementary material for more information about how the data was collected.
