a) The article under review published by The Scientist described the current global issue of
the outbreak of covid-19. The article states that some research studies conclude that Covid-19
can be transmitted through air, which is resisted by some scientists. The article states that a
study conducted in the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine observed
evidence of viral RNA in isolation rooms where the patient was kept and even at a distance of
six feet from the patients. An aerosol scientist from Australia also supported that the
transmission of the virus is airborne. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
believes that the use of face masks in public might need revision if the probable transmission
of the virus is air-borne. An aerosol chemist from San Diego remarks that the transmission of
the virus through is a definitive explanation of its rapid spread. Moreover, a preprint from
two hospitals in Wuhan suggests that disposal of protective equipment, movement of staff
and floor cleaning activities might be responsible for transmitting the virus by resuspending
aerosols contaminated with the viral RNA. However, the airborne transmission of SARS-
CoV-2 is inconclusive a research study conducted in an epicentre in Singapore observed no
evidence of the viral RNA in samples of air. The response of the World Health Organisation
the transmission through the air might occur in the course of medical procedures which
include open suctioning or intubation. The spread of Covid-19 is inconclusive at present.
b) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has introduced serological tests in
contrast to the nose swabs for diagnosing active covid-19 cases. Rapid diagnostic test (RDT)
is one such qualitative lateral flow assay in which the blood serum is analysed to detect
specific antibodies, particularly IgG and IgM, against the nucleocapsid protein of the virus.
The specificity of the test is recorded as 95.6% while the sensitivity is 93.8%. This test is
useful as it provides the results within 30 minutes (Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security,
