Scientists in the UK found that both small and large particles can travel far and in unpredictable directions from a coughing or breathing person
They created a formula to show how small and large droplets from infected people can fly through the air
As a solution, they also made an extractor device capable of sucking potentially infectious droplets too tiny for PPE to block right out of the airURL https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8592211/Big-small-coronavirus-droplets-travel-thought-air.html Persons Cathal Cummins Title Small Aerosol Droplets Could Penetrate PPE, Scientists Warn Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Metro Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 4/08/20 Description Some forms of personal protective equipment may not shield people from small aerosol droplets carrying infections like coronavirus, scientists have warned.

Wissenschafter und Weltgesundheitsorganisation warnen, dass virenhaltige Aerosole bei der Ansteckung mit dem Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 eine Rolle spielen. Wenn sie bei der Verbreitung der Lungenkrankheit Covid-19 entscheidend ist, könnten Abstandsregeln überdacht, Klimaanlagen neu ausgerüstet und Gruppentreffen wohl verboten werden müssen - ein Leben entweder in konsequenter Isolation oder in einem Rüstzeug aus Schutzkleidung wäre die Folge.
