Coronavirus Not Airborne, Says World Health Organisation (WHO).
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced that the information articulating on the internet and mass media that Coronavirus (COVID-19) is airborne is false. But, it advised people to protect themselves by practicing physical distancing
The agency said the germ that causes COVID-19 was mainly transferred through droplets mustered when an infected person sneezes, coughs or speaks.
The agency said the germ that causes COVID-19 was mainly transferred through droplets mustered when an infected person sneezes, coughs or speaks.
“These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air. They quickly fall on floors or surfaces".
“You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within one meter of a person who has COVID-19".
“You can be infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands.’’
“To protect yourself, keep at least one meter distance from others and disinfect surfaces that are touched frequently".
“WHO continues to emphasize the utmost importance of frequent hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, and environmental cleaning and disinfection, as well as the importance of maintaining physical distances".
“The agency emphasizes maintaining physical distances and avoidance of close, unprotected contact with people with fever or respiratory symptoms.’’
