That's exactly how much you should sit with someone with Covid symptoms
Before going out to eat or take the bus, make sure you keep this space of others.
Thanks to the constant reminders of major health agencies of the nation, the cardinal rules of coronavirus have become easy to remember: Wash your hands, wear a facial mask, andMaintain social distancing To keep you and others safely. But some activities are still easy to follow this third directive, especially with regard to meals at the restaurant, travel, or even simply enjoy an afternoon at the park. So, exactlyTo what extent should you be from those around you? On the basis of recent research, you should try to spend the equivalent of two rows away from everyone, especially if they have COVID symptoms.
To achieve this conclusion, the document, published in the journalJama Open Open Network, Examined 24 members of a tourist group on a flight between Tel Aviv, Israel, and Frankfurt, Germany, with seven travelersA positive test for the virus at the arrival. A subsequent evaluation of the passengers of the aircraft found that two other cases were probably the result of the transmission during the flight with the two newly infected passengers sitting in the two rows of contagious travelers.
The authors of the study admit that the direction of the airflow on the plane, the lack of masks, and the missing data of certain passengers can help to explain some of the conclusions. But they always defend the idea that six feet away, or two meters, which is about the length of the space created by two rows of airline reduced seats-considerably the probability of COVID-19 contracts, even in a closed space as an airplane cabin.
How are these results compete against other research? A study published in June in the Medical ReviewThe lancet foundkeeping at least one meter of space between was generally sufficient to protect against the transmission of the virus. But it also found that the risk of infection dropped by 13 percent to this range at less than 3 percent when the distance has been increased. And the research of the Committee of the R.U Scientific Advisers found that people being a little more than three feet awaydoor between two and ten times the risk to be six feet away, brought the BBC.
