New evidence again grow on the indoor dining room as a risky activity for coronavirus transmission. A recent study by South Korea shows that the new coronavirus can travel long distances - and quickly in some interior contexts.

The researchers analyzed a pair of transmissions in a restaurant in June and their conclusions were published in theKorean Medical Science Journal. Two clients were infected with the virus despite a sequence of 15 feet of a third dinner, which was positive but asymptomatic, according toThe Washington Post. The study suggests that the virus can spread as little as five minutes - a faster time than most guests without masks take to finish their food.

The restaurant where the transmissions took place did not have windows or ventilation system. Instead, there were two ceiling air conditioners, which circulated air in the direction of infected customers. The first infected customer had no interaction with the asymptomatic dinner, who was sitting at 21 feet. Both parties overlap only at the restaurant for about five minutes. The second client who was infected was sitting at 16 meters from the asymptomatic dinner and pair riding at the restaurant for 21 minutes.

While the two people contracted the virus, their companions did not do it. The authors of the study wrote this droplet "The transmission can occur at a distance greater than 2 [meters] if there is a direct airflow of an infected person in an internal adjustment."

The new discoveries show that coronavirus can reach distances further from six feet longspill. Previous studies have also shown that the virus can browse longer distances inClosed spaces with air-conditioning, as well as when the droplets of an infected person areexpelled by cough.

But this study puts in particular emphasizes the impact of the air flow on the transmission. The rest of the guests in the South Korean restaurant avoided contracting the virus, although some of them spent more time at the restaurant with the asymptotic individual who expanded it.

The search suggests that six feet of distance between the restaurant tables can not be a sufficient amount of space in closed dining rooms. Given the fact that most States are currently authorizing dined operations with capacity restrictions, the latest findings could highlight the need to examine distance mandates for domestic meals. Disease control and prevention centers currently recommends that guests wear a mask when "less than six feet apart from other people or inside", "as much" as much as possible when it did not eat. "
