Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study has several limitations. Firstly, the results depend on the model assumptions. For example, the relative contribution of droplet route was dependent on the emission of virus in respirable droplets and the exposure time of susceptible individuals. The hand hygiene frequency and the hand hygiene efficiency affected the results related to contact route. These parameters remain highly uncertain. To improve the accuracy of the model, it is desirable to update the data pertaining to SARS-CoV-2 in future studies. Secondly, it should be noted that the scenario we assume at home is relatively simple, we only considered the close contact distance of 0.81 m between two individuals, and contacts of infected and susceptible are only considered for 30 minutes of conversation. In reality, there will be more complex activities, such as dining together, that may increase the risk of droplet and contact route. In other public places such as shopping malls, restaurants, etc., the dominant route may be different, thus we would further study scenarios of the other settings in the future study. Last, the behavioral settings of the susceptible adult and the susceptible child are the same, however, children may touch more surfaces and wash their hands less often, which may lead to a higher risk of contact transmission in children. Therefore, the overall infection risk of the susceptible child was about half that of the susceptible adult, this conclusion may vary under different settings. ...
