It has become an article of faith in theCOVID-19 [Feminine ERA: To avoid any infection, practice social distancing in public, defined as remaining six feet people who are not in your immediate household. But in recent months, some research has indicated that the distance may not suffice. The last one: anew study Who found infectious droplets produced by coughs can travel further than six feet. Read on and ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Tough droplets are large and heavy

Singapore scientists have studied the way the droplets produced by coughing could travel to a person standing 1 meter (3.2 feet) and 2 meters (6.5 feet).

The researchers found that a person standing 3.2 feet in front of a simulated cough was covered with about 65% of all the droplets produced: large and heavy, these droplets tend to fall on the ground - and contain a "great" Amount of the virus, the authors of the study declared.

At the officially sanctioned distance of 6.5 feet, they found that fewer droplets (which tend to be smaller) have reached the other person - but those who have always contained enough viruses to be infectious. "Viral exhibition could significantly increase by successive cough or higher viral loads," he noted.

More evidence than washing hands is important

Although these small droplets are not as easily inhaulable through the mouth or nose, they could land on clothes or hands, creating a potential vector for transmission. "Droplet deposits on the skin and clothes may not lead directly to an infection," the researchers said. "However, secondary transmission modes, including face, mouth or nose affecting, should be avoided. Hygiene measures such as hand washing and exposed surfaces are highly recommended."

This is not the first study to suggest that social distancing instructions could be due for reproduction. Scientists suspect that coronavirus can be "aerosolized" -or-gold transmissible through these smaller and more remote droplets, which can hang in the air - and try to understand the probability.A August report ofMIT and the University of Oxford stated that the six-legged recommendation is based on the 80-year science on how the droplets move before falling on the ground and recommended that other factors, including ventilation, The size of the crowd, the duration of the exposure, etc. If face masks are used - should also be taken into account when defining a secure social distancing directive.

Experts also try to understand how the airflow can diffuse the virus inside and particle size, viral loads and specific activities (such as singing and typing against coughs and tightening) can contribute to that.
