Our main point: People should spend time outdoors to enjoy nature and be active. Being outdoors is essentially the best ventilation one could ever imagine, as particles have the space to infinitely dilute, disperse, and eventually essentially disappear. forbes.com/sites/cassidyr…
In the absence of vaccines, ventilation, distance, and masks help control viral spread. Being outdoors is an important resource for personal physical/mental health and to increase ventilation. #VaccinesWork
Of 10,000 titles we looked at, 12 talked about outdoor transmission of any respiratory virus, and 5 were specific to COVID.
The first sentence of our abstract states that a low proportion of reported global transmissions occur outdoors. Our review did not allow for us to quantify the amount of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurring outdoors, nor did we state that 10% of transmissions occur outdoors.
In the review we summarized findings from 5 studies on SARS-CoV-2, which showed low outdoor transmission of SARS-CoV-2 – all at very low percent.
