Why Airborne Transmission Hasn’t Been Conclusive in Case of COVID-19? An Atmospheric Science Perspective.
COVID-19 stays in the air’s moisture droplets for several hours. These droplets are produced both by symptomatic and asymptomatic people, but smaller droplets contain less viruses than larger droplets and evaporate faster. The measurement of their infectivity rate and viability is highly uncertain due to a lack of robust sampling systems to separately collect virions in the atmosphere. But to conclude, this research is believed to help develop a robust epidemiological method for mortality assessment.
With this transmission information, we can design with this moisture droplet example and ensure that sanitization methods and routines are strictly enforced within facilities. Even though the virus is not contracted from animals, it is still important to implement these measures within to keep staff and customers as safe as possible while they are inside.
