Does 6 Feet Provide Enough COVID Protection?
Saliva droplets expelled by coughs can travel much farther than 6 feet in light winds, according to new findings.
That suggests social distancing spaces of 6 feet may not be enough to prevent coronavirus transmission.
Airborne transmission of viruses, including the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, isn’t well-understood. One way to learn more is to study how saliva particles travel through the air when people cough, explained researchers at the University of Nicosia in Cypress.
