Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is predominantly transmitted through aerosols (ie, airborne transmission); however, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to recommend the use of contact precautions (a gown and gloves) for the care of patients with COVID-19. Infection-prevention guidelines should reflect the current science and eliminate this wasteful practice.
