In the version of this article initially published, in the first sentence of the third paragraph of the discussion, “for rhinovirus we detected virus in aerosols in 19 of 34 (56%) participants (compared to 4 of 10 (40%) for influenza and 8 of 23 (35%) for coronavirus)” should have read “for rhinovirus we detected virus in aerosols in 19 of 34 (56%) participants (compared to 4 of 10 (40%) for coronavirus and 8 of 23 (35%) for influenza),” with ‘influenza’ and ‘coronavirus’ transposed. The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
