Source: National Academies Press (NAP). Published: 3/2020. In response to a request from the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a standing committee of experts to help inform OSTP on critical science and policy issues related to emerging infectious diseases and other public health threats, including the COVID-19 pandemic. A previous Rapid Expert Consultation, dated March 15, 2020, provided feedback concerning issues of COVID-19 virus survival on surfaces and in the air, and virus/disease incubation period. This 10-page publication provides an update and elaboration on these issues, as well as some caveats about the work performed so far and as yet unmet needs. (Text)
