[Low risk of environmental contagion by SARS-CoV-2 in non-sanitary spaces]. / Bajo riesgo de contagio ambiental por SARS-CoV-2 en espacios no sanitarios.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the presence of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces (high, medium and low contacts) and airs in non-sanitary spaces with high public influx to evaluate the risk of environmental contagion. Method: Surfaces and airs were analysed by RT-qPCR to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2. Results: A total of 394 surfaces and air samples were obtained from spaces with high public influx such as offices, shopping centres and nursing homes. The virus was not detected in any of the samples analysed. Conclusion: Although we cannot emphatically conclude that there is no risk of environmental infection by SARS-CoV-2 in non-sanitary spaces, we can affirm that the risk is almost non- existent.
