Viral Infections among Hospitalised Children during the COVID-19 Outbreak in a Tertiary Hospital in Turkey: Relationship with Non-pharmaceutical Interventions
The study found that HBoV, a small, non-enveloped virus, was more easily transmitted than enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2, as it can bypass FFP2 masks. Therefore, NPIs should be designed to target both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses to effectively manage epidemics and pandemics.
