COVID-19 Outbreak Associated with Air Conditioning in Restaurant, Guangzhou, China, 2020
Open accessAbstract
an out- break of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVD-19) affected 10 persons from 3 families (families A-C) 1 These authors contributed equally to this article.During January 26-February 10, 2020, an outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus disease in an air-conditioned restaurant in Guangzhou, China, involved 3 family clusters.The airflow direction was consistent with droplet transmission.To prevent the spread of the virus in restaurants, we recommend increasing the distance between tables and improving ventilation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
