BARAJAS-NAVA, Leticia A.. Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2020, vol.77, n.3, pp.142-145.  Epub Sep 25, 2020. ISSN 1665-1146.  https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.20000068.

Viral epidemics or pandemics of acute respiratory infections, like influenza or severe acute respiratory syndrome pose a global threat. Antiviral drugs and vaccination may be insufficient to prevent their spread. Therefore, a Cochrane systematic review evaluated effectiveness of physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.

Keywords : Viral disease; Respiratory tract infections; Prevention and control; Transmission; Systematic review; Meta-analysis.
