PPE samples infected with a clinical sample positive for SARS-CoV-2 (Clin-Inf) showed that detection of N protein, S protein and Orf genes was observed up to 5 days post-infection in gown samples, whereas these overall genes were detected for 30 days after infection in the case of face masks, showing a decreasing viral load during monitoring period (Table 2). The gene discussed is ATP6AP1; the disease is infection.
