    Abstract Amirav and Newhouse discuss the risk of transmission coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by nebulizer The current pandemic of COVID-19 cases demands greater infection control precautions Nebulizers generate aerosol particles in the size of 1-5 µm, which can carry bacteria and viruses into the deep lung The risk of infection transmission via droplet nuclei and aerosols may increase during nebulizer treatments because of the potential to generate a high volume of respiratory aerosols that may be propelled over a longer distance than is involved in a natural dispersion pattern Furthermore, the larger particles may stimulate both patients' and bystanders' cough and thus increase the risk of spreading the disease There is a possibility that nebulizer therapy in patients with COVID-19 infection can transmit potentially viable coronavirus to susceptible bystander hosts
