A great deal was learned this year from the University of Colorado-Boulder aerosol study, of which both VMEA and NAFME were sponsors. Much was found through the use of expensive equipment in laboratory settings about how vapor particles are emitted when singing and playing wind instruments. Ways were developed to effectively mitigate the distribution of such vapor and possible viral hitchhikers.  Please read the linked document for complete guidance.
