London: A new research has come out regarding the infection of Coronavirus. In this research done by the engineers of the University of Cambridge, it has been claimed that social distancing is not enough to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Along with this, it has also been said in the research that a corona-infected person sitting in a closed place can infect someone else even at a distance of two meters outside.
A team of engineers from the University of Cambridge used computer modeling to determine how the tiny droplets spread when people cough. He found that in the absence of a mask, a person suffering from Covid-19 can infect someone else even two meters outside the closed space. This distance is being used in Britain.
The effect of coughing occurs in a large area
The researchers also found that coughing occurs over large areas and that the so-called ‘safe’ distance can be between one and three meters or more, according to a public health authority. Indian-origin Dr. Shrey Trivedi, the first author of the study published this week in the journal ‘Physics of Fluids’, said, “Part of the spread of this disease is related to virology, that is, how many viruses are in your body, whether you speak or cough”. Time took out how many viral elements.’
The gist of the research is that social distancing by itself is not a way to reduce the impact of the virus and underscore the continuing importance of vaccination, proper air movement, and masks, especially in the coming winter.
Infection is mainly transmitted through respiratory fluid
At the same time, a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the US states that mainly people are infected with respiratory fluid, in which the virus capable of causing the infection is present. Aerosols float in the air for a long time in closed boundary walls and places with poor ventilation and have the ability to infect people by floating in the air for more than a meter.
That’s why the CDC guidelines ensure the rules under which people in closed households should be given masks as well as attention to distance and proper ventilation.
