New Study Shows You're More Likely to Contract Covid-19 Indoors. What Else, 2020?

News 18  

New research adds to the growing body of evidence that airborne transmission of Covid-19 spreads more quickly in enclosed spaces. Researchers were able to link a community outbreak of Covid-19 in China to a source patient who likely spread the virus to fellow bus riders through the bus’s air conditioning system. “Our study provided epidemiologic evidence of transmission over long distances, which was likely airborne,” said study lead author Ye Shen from the University of Georgia in the US. According to the study, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, it was largely believed that close contact through droplets is a major route of transmission for Covid-19. “Understanding the transmission routes of Covid-19 is critical to contain the pandemic, so that effective prevention strategies can be developed targeting all potential transmission routes,” said Shen.
