Researchers from Finland show through a simulation how coughing can spread coronavirus in the air in an indoor environment.
how coughing can spread coronavirus in the air in an indoor environment like a supermarket.
The researchers created a simulation where a person coughs in an aisle between shelves, like those found in grocery stores, taking ventilation into consideration. The preliminary results revealed that “aerosol particles carrying the virus can remain in the air longer than was originally thought.” "Someone infected by the coronavirus, can cough and walk away, but then leave behind extremely small aerosol particles carrying the coronavirus. These particles could then end up in the respiratory tract of others in the vicinity," explains Aalto University Assistant Professor Ville Vuorinen.
"The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare recommends that you stay at home if you are unwell and that you maintain physical distance with everyone. The instructions also include coughing into your sleeve or a tissue and taking care of good hand hygiene,” said Jussi Sane, Chief Specialist at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare.
