❗️@WHO updates on main mode of SARS-CoV-2 🦠 transmission❗️
2021.04.30 Q&A ⤵️ ‘How does #COVID19 spread between people?’
I cannot overstate how seismic this paradigm shift is, and should be, in guiding a revised Risk Assessment & Controls framework.

The virus 🦠 SARS-CoV-2 can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak 🗣, sing 🎤, or breathe🧘🏻♀️.
[why mask needs to cover👃& 👄]
These particles range from larger respiratory droplets 💧 to smaller #aerosols 💦.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus 🦠 spreads *mainly* between people in close (short-range) contact, typically within 1 meter (3 feet) of each other.
How?
When #aerosols or droplets containing the virus 🦠 are INHALED or come into DIRECT CONTACT with the [mucous membranes of] 👀,👃, or 👄.

#SARSCoV2 🦠 can also spread in poorly ventilated &/or crowded *indoor* settings from a distance.
How?
❗️because #aerosols carrying the virus 🦠 can remain suspended in #air or travel farther than 1 meter❗️
[why adequate #ventilation is critical]

Yes, importance of distancing from other ⚠️ infectious humans remains.
Scientific understandings on WHY “distancing” can ⬇️ exposure risk to COVID-19 🦠 are being updated.
Farther is better (6ft better than 3ft), but not enough if in an enclosed indoor space for a long time.
