Nosocomial transmission of respiratory infections poses a major threat to patient safety, while also affecting healthcare workers (HCW) health, generating substantial costs for hospitals. These infections spread through both close-proximity interactions at short distances, and via aerosols that remain suspended in the air, enabling long-range transmission. The relative contribution of each transmission route is pathogen-dependent, and evidence to distinguish them remains scarce. Here, we propose...
