Are you a #runner or #biker? Beware the "slipstream" and keep more distance!
"Based on the results, @BertBlocken advises to keep a distance of at least 4 to 5 meters behind the leading person, 10 meters when running or cycling slowly and at least 20 meters when cycling fast."
"If you want to overtake someone, it is also recommended to start "presorting" into a staggered arrangement from a fairly long distance – twenty meters with bicycles, for example, so that you can overtake carefully and at a proper distance by moving in a straight line."
"The simulations show that #SocialDistancing plays less of a role for two people who walk or run side by side in calm weather. The drops then end up behind the duo.
Those who move in a staggered arrangement are also less likely to catch the other's saliva droplets, at least when there is no substantial cross‐wind. The risk of contamination is greatest when people walk/run closely behind each other and therefore in each other's slipstream."
