In Indoor setting 6 ft distancing no good
Latest research (attached) reveals that viable SARS-CoV-2 can be present in aerosols generated by a COVID-19 patient in a hospital room in the absence of an aerosol-generating procedure, and can thus serve as a source for transmission of the virus in this setting. Moreover, the public health implications are broad, especially as current best practices for limiting the spread of COVID-19 center on social distancing, wearing of face-coverings while in proximity to others and hand-washing. For aerosol-based transmission, measures such as physical distancing by 6 feet would not be helpful in an indoor setting, provide a false-sense of security and lead to exposures and outbreaks. With the current surges of cases, to help stem the COVID-19 pandemic, clear guidance on control measures against SARS-CoV-2 aerosols are needed more

This will also open the avenues for tall claims by air purifiers and A/C Manufacturers. The report doesnt quantify the amount of Virus detected, how Virulent they are to survive & multiply after being out of a conducive surroundings . How do we face the situation ? Use air Sanitizers in such indoor setting which are at high risk . Then Gyms , conference halls, dinning places will turn out to be NoNo to visit . more
