Corona can spread through air claim scientists

Until now, the World Health Organization has been saying that the main means of spreading of Covid-19 coronavirus are cough, sneeze or droplets that come out during speech or that there may be a virus present on some surface. Does the coronavirus persist in the air and spread? The WHO had so far considered it possible, but had not paid attention.

Now the latest situation is that 239 scientists from 32 countries have admitted that the WHO ignored the risk of spreading the virus through air. These scientists have written an open letter, whose claims are being published this week. In this letter, it has been said that the WHO should amend the recommendations, correcting their mistake. Know what is this danger and what are the answers to the questions related to it.

Standards of effective social distancing

Till now it was reported that respiratory infections are possible through speech, sneezing and cough, so that virus infection is possible, so it was advised to wear a mask and keep a distance of 3 to 6 feet. It is now learned that infection can also be spread through air. That is, micro droplets nuclei can be present in the air and they can also be active and moving in the air for some time.

These are droplets, which are incorporated into the air when people speak, cough or sneeze, and are even lighter and more subtle than respiratory droplets. These droplets can also be formed by evaporation of respiratory droplets. These are called aerosols, through which Covid can spread 19 infections. In such a situation, the question is arising as to what would be the correct standard of social distancing.

Scientists found evidence

This whole study has meant that if a Covid-19 infected person passes away after living in an environment, then the virus can still exist in that environment and other people coming into this environment can become infected. Scientists have found evidence that the risk of infection from the environment may be greater than feared.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego published a paper in June saying that studies on data from three major epidemic centers, Wuhan, New York and Italy, found that environmental infections, especially aerosols, were a major cause of infection. The study also included 1995 Nobel laureate Mario J Molina in the field of chemistry.

Rules of social distancing could be changed

The WHO hopes to release new recommendations soon after these new facts are revealed. It is possible that now you are instructed to keep masks continuously inside the house or in every environment. Now if the virus can remain in the air for hours and can even move, then it is obvious that breathing in public place has become a matter of risk. In such a situation, WHO can also disclose what the rules of social distancing will be.
