Close contact can also be associated with the sharing of sheet music, stands, or microphones that make physical distancing difficult to maintain. Reducing the duration of rehearsals or performances can also reduce accumulation of potentially infectious aerosols. Reducing the number of participants in the space at one time or moving rehearsals into larger rooms or performances into larger venues can reduce crowding. The mass choir is a combination of the three. Raising the voice of choral music. St John, NL: NLCAHR; 2020 May. Indoor Air. Surfaces that are frequently touched by many people, such as door handles or faucets, may be more important in fomite transmission compared to objects or surfaces that are only touched incidentally and less frequently. Even as church leaders plan for … Further examination of bibliographies of key articles were scanned to retrieve more extensive information, and key authors in the subject area were searched to identify additional relevant citations.

Within two weeks, 30 members had tested positive and another 30 were experiencing symptoms. Sharing of surfaces and objects such as musical stands, chairs, books, microphones, instruments, food, dishes and cutlery, or drink dispensers increases the risks of fomite transmission. Studies have shown that some people emit a much larger quantity of particles than others. Please see Appendix 1 for the literature search method and search terms. Contact with contaminated surfaces (fomites) followed by touching of the eyes, mouth, or nose is another potential mode of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, although the relative importance of fomite transmission is still poorly understood. Closed environments facilitate secondary transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Scientific brief. Several examples of COVID-19 clusters or outbreaks, where singing or loud vocalization have featured in the venue or activity, have been reported in various media reports and academic journals.1 These outbreaks have also included other risk factors such as crowding or gathering in large groups, enclosed spaces or poor ventilation, long duration of contact, and other types of interactions such as greetings and social interactions, sharing of food, drinks or equipment, and shared transport. 2020;20(5):565-74. Available from: Furuse Y, Ko YK, Saito M, Shobugawa Y, Jindai K, Saito T, et al. Mechanical ventilation, or well-planned natural ventilation can help remove particles with upward air flow exhausted to the outside, and can dilute indoor air with clean outdoor air.42, While recirculating systems are discouraged, where unavoidable, control measures to improve conditions such as increased percentage of outside air in ventilation, high quality filters (MERV-12), or integrated disinfection systems (e.g., UV germicidal irradiation, either in ducts or in an upper room configuration) can be used to minimize recirculating virus.44,45 Small and poorly ventilated areas may require ventilation cycles between usage, increased airflow or adding filtration where possible.44. medRxiv.

Adjusting timings to allow for shorter rehearsals or performances, with fewer people, and more scheduled breaks outside of the rehearsal space can allow for aerosols to disperse or settle. Oklahoma City, OK: American Choral Directors Association; 2020 Jun 15. If infected persons are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic, they may be unaware that they are emitting infectious particles and presenting a risk to others in the room. The ban on singing to prevent COVID-19 transmission, especially during the holiday season festivities, covers church choir groups, the Department of Health said Friday. A number of COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred at churches throughout the country. This brief review has outlined the key risks associated with singing in choirs, including the risks associated with gathering in large groups, and the additional risks related to production of small respiratory droplets via vocalization. Available from: Heneghan C, Brassey J, Jefferson T. COVID-19: What proportion are asymptomatic? Professional singers may be more skilled in adjusting their breathing mode to produce sound more efficiently, with less forceful inhalation and exhalation.27 Deep exhalation can increase the concentration of exhaled particles by four to six fold, and rapid inhalation can also increase concentration of released particles by two to three fold.28 In contrast, rapid exhalation has less impact on the aerosol concentration released. Available from: Pan Y, Zhang D, Yang P, Poon LLM, Wang Q. medRxiv. Emerg Infect Dis. medRxiv. Overall, 60 of the 80 participants that attended the March 9 practice became infected. Airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2: the world should face the reality. COVID-19 resources for the Canadian choral community. The extent to which singing itself contributes to outbreaks among church congregations is unknown, but it may be one of many factors increasing overall risk in crowded indoor spaces. Berlin Cathedral, Germany: Choir practice. Lancet Respir Med. Guidelines for vocalists and instrumentalists. Close contact while greeting each other, as well as hugging, talking, and laughing increases the risk of transmission via respiratory droplets, fomites, and short-range aerosols. Gupta JK, Lin C-H, Chen Q. Characterizing exhaled airflow from breathing and talking. “Kapag nagbigay tayo ng ganitong protocol, hindi ito nililimitahan sa karaoke kasi marami pang pagkakataon na tayo ay kumanta sa public places. 2020; advance publication. Modes of transmission of virus causing COVID-19: implications for IPC precaution recommendations. 2010;20(1):31-9. Large quantities of small respiratory particles can be produced, and they can remain in the air for an extended time frame. As the vocal folds open and close during vocalization, fluid film between them can also rupture, releasing particles.23  Aerosols can also be produced from the oral cavity during speech.24, A combination of processes thus occurs during speaking and singing as release of droplets due to fluid-film burst in the bronchioles varies with inhalation and exhalation, and release of droplets from the larynx may vary depending on vocalization style. Respiratory events such as coughing and sneezing have a higher velocity and can release a high concentration of droplets of various sizes but these events have a low frequency compared to breathing, speaking, or extended periods of singing.

I am not saying transmission of the virus is now possible but there is a limit on the possibility of the virus being transmitted.). 2016 Nov;30(6):717-20. According to a 2017 survey by the Big Choral Census, the UK has “at least 40,000 choirs”, including private choirs, church choirs and school choirs, with 2.14 million regular singers. Topic: Singing as a risk for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus. When inside, moving activities to very large rooms with good air exchange is recommended to reduce risks.43 Larger room sizes allow for greater dilution of respiratory particles, but without proper ventilation, particles can accumulate and disperse within the room over time. Choirs may have to remain silent long after society reopens. Viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples. Available from: Morawska L, Tang JW, Bahnfleth W, Bluyssen PM, Boerstra A, Buonanno G, et al. Available from: Fears AC, Klimstra WB, Duprex P, Hartman A, Weaver SC, Plante KS, et al. 2020;Pre-print. Choir singers have been found to have a higher average vital lung capacity than non-singers, and the inspiratory capacity of singers has also been found to be greater on average.29 Children may release fewer respiratory particles due to smaller lungs with fewer terminal bronchioles where production of aerosols via fluid-film burst could occur. Evidence of short-range aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and call for universal airborne precautions for anesthesiologists during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members of the choir avoided handshakes and hugging and used hand sanitizer but also spent time singing together spaced at 15 to 25 cm apart.

While singing may have contributed to transmission in notable outbreaks associated with choirs, the degree to which singing impacted transmission is uncertain. COVID-19 Risks and Precautions for Choirs, O’Keeffe, J. COVID-19 Risks and Precautions for Choirs. (2019) found a linear correlation between volume of speech and number of respiratory particles emitted.23  Even quiet speech emits more particles than normal breathing and the quantity of emitted particles during all volume of speech are greater than during breathing. In a pre-print by Riediker and Morawska (2020), the authors propose that reduced formation of respiratory droplets may partially explain why children are poor transmitters of SARS-CoV-2 compared to adults; however, further study is needed to investigate this theory.30, Size of particles produced during vocalization, The size of particles produced by singing and loud vocalization may be important to identifying predominant transmission routes. Vancouver, BC: National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health. As noted in the outbreaks in Skagit Valley, and Amsterdam, participants with symptoms attended the rehearsal(s) that resulted in additional transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Forward chaining of key papers added to the search results and news reports identifying localized outbreaks associated with group singing were scanned for details of outbreak investigations. Although I am not saying na hindi posible ang transmission pero mas nagkakaroon ng limit ang pagtransmit ng virus,” she said. The number of singers, the room size, the level of ventilation, and duration of singing all contribute to determining risk as well as the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 cases within the community. 2009 2009;22(3):229-37.

Surfaces can be contaminated by expelled droplets, or by direct contact with a contaminated hand. Groups should avoid singing in closed, unventilated rooms even with distancing measures in place.42, Short of suspending the activity all together, an approach to maintaining good indoor air quality includes reducing indoor emissions by limiting the number of participants and the duration of participation.3 It is more difficult to maintain safe physical distancing in crowded spaces, and occasional encounters less than 2 m are more likely to occur as crowding increases. Two additional women who had participated in a backstage VIP experience with the singer also tested positive. Production of respiratory droplets and aerosols during speaking and singing, Loud speech and singing, while less forceful than coughing or sneezing, can result in bursts of air releasing respiratory particles large enough to transport viruses. In June, the IATF announced that churches in modified general community quarantine areas may conduct religious services at a 50-percent seating capacity. Indoor Air. Stadnytskyi et al. 2020 Jun 5;5:83. The potential for transmission via pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic persons via multiple routes, including respiratory aerosols, has implications for activities such as singing in groups. There is still no firm evidence as to the level of exposure to infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus that is required to cause an infection. Communication with groups prior to rehearsals and events can include screening for symptomatic or highly susceptible persons, who should not attend. Sci Rep. 2019 Feb;9(1):2348. JAMA.

The Department of Health bans singing including church choirs during holiday season to prevent spread of COVID-19. N Engl J Med. Few details on the setting and types of interactions at the March 9 practice could be identified at the time of writing. Beyond the risks and recommended precautions associated with gathering in groups, this review identifies the risks specific to singing in groups, and the suite of precautions that can be considered to minimize these risks. Gupta et al (2010) found that the total volume of air exhaled during breathing and talking for two hours were an order of magnitude greater than 100 coughs.26 Over an extended period, the quantity of droplets produced by non-coughing or sneezing activities could be greater.

Don't miss out on the latest news and information. Back in October, the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of the Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has allowed churches, mosques, and other places of worship in areas under a general community quarantine to hold religious gatherings at a seating capacity of 30 percent. This includes better understanding of how the nature of specific activities and the characteristics of the settings in which they take place can influence risks of transmission. These findings could inform safety guidelines for restarting choirs during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and other similar respiratory infection outbreaks.
