Nasal mucosa is much more susceptible than oral mucosa to infection of SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron subvariants: wearing nasal masks where facial masks cannot be used

AlexandrosSfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Nasal mucosa is much more susceptible than oral mucosa to infection of SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron subvariants: wearing nasal masks where facial masks cannot be used via Journal of Medical Virology Abstract we analyzed airway tissue tropism of SARS-CoV-2 and found that the nasal mucosa is much more susceptible than oral mucosa to infection of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and subvariants, suggesting the importance of protecting nasal epithelium from Omicron variant infection. We have designed a bifunctional mask that can be used as a facial mask under regular conditions and a nasal mask in some settings (e.g., eating and drinking) where facial mask cannot be used This article is protected by copyright.
