Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and dermatologists: Potential biological hazards of laser surgery in epidemic area

Abstract

Respiratory droplets and contact transmission are most important routes of transmission of Coronavirus Disease (2019) (COVID-19), but do not fully account for the occurrence of all COVID-19 and there is other potential rout of transmission include aerosol transmission, body fluid routes and oral-fecal transmission (Phan et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020; Zuo et al., 2020). Although the role of aerosol transmission of COVID-19 is not exactly clear, recent study focused on potential transmission of COVID-19 via aerosolization of particle of virus especially in closed environment in long time or in condition with high concentration of virus particle (Zuo et al., 2020). Also viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) was found in anal swabs and in blood samples of infected patients (Zhang et al., 2020).
