Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and limitations: Besides major databases, we searched pre-print repositories and websites of relevant institutions for unpublished manuscripts and consulted the Covid-19 evidence live map of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Further, we have used forward and backward reference screening on all identified articles and screened the TOCs of journals deemed relevant for potential publications during the screening, extraction, and analysis phases. All steps of the review have been conducted by two reviewers for quality assurance. Finally, we tested for publication bias, both visually through funnel plotting as well as statistically based on Egger12,13. Additionally, danger of publication bias might be low as we are investigating prevalence (compared to measures of effect) during the onset of a pandemic of global relevance. We have used English search terms only, thus might have missed relevant studies in other languages. This could explain why only one study from a non-English language country was identified. Our findings may not be generalizable to other settings than the ones where the studies were conducted, as droplet or potentially airborne transmission may be different in other contexts of social and cultural communication and interaction. Third, even though we searched several databases and repositories, we might not have detected all relevant studies considering the amount of evidence being generated during the current pandemic. Additionally, we cannot ru...
