Scientists are continuously researching the virus during this time of corona. And that is why new events are coming out one after another. Scientists have proven long ago that corona spreads in the air. The medical journal Lancet also published detailed research on the subject. But this time what was known is really a matter of concern for people. Because this time, scientists say, coronavirus can be transmitted at a distance of 6 feet in the air. As a result, people are at risk of being infected with corona from a distance of 6 feet.

The data came from a study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The US health agency has received important information about the nature of the virus. And as a result, it became clear once again that there is no substitute for strictly following social distance rules to prevent Covid-19 infections.

Coronavirus is released into the air in the form of tiny particles during respiration. But a person infected with corona is most likely to spread the infection within 3 to 6 feet. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States say the virus's density and activity are higher within this distance.

However, the range of 6 feet outside is not absolutely safe. The virus spreads even further. The risk of infection remains. Just as the virus can be spread through inhalation, there is a risk of infection through contact. Experts say that people spread droplets while talking or sneezing, coughing or even breathing normally. It contains a virus. Having distance greatly reduces the risk of infection.

The study also found that if an infected person stays in a closed room for at least 15 minutes or more, a person standing more than 6 feet away from the saliva or ‘aerosol’ that comes out of his mouth can also be infected. Not only that, if someone else enters the room after the infected person leaves, he or she is more likely to become infected.
