Evidence Emerging of airborne spread of Covid 19
WHO has been releasing all the updates regarding the spread of coronavirus from day one. Initially, it was stated by WHO that COVID 19 spread is mainly due to the exchange of respiratory droplets between a COVID positive and COVID negative person. Another possibility was that if there is physical contact between an infected person and a non-infected person, then the virus can transfer to the non-infected indirectly due to touching contaminated areas. Recently WHO is acknowledging new evidence regarding the transmission of COVID 19.
WHO has finally taken into account that there is some evidence which is showing that COVID 19 is also airborne disease. 293 scientists from all over the world asked WHO to look into the matter deeply. The scientists have explained that the existence of floating COVID 19 particle is possible which may infect a person if he breathes in that particle. The scientist has asked WHO to update the information they are providing regarding the spread of COVID 19.
In future, if there is more solid evidence in favour of airborne spread of COVID19, then WHO might have to update its instruction with more strict rules in order to stop the spread. Wearing mask might become mandatory for all citizens and keeping 1 metre of distance won’t be enough to stop the spread of the virus.
As humans, it has now become mandatory for us to avoid any risk in this current situation where the virus is resisting to stop its spread. Following all the sops as directed by the government of your respectful countries is the only solution to this extraordinary problem.
