Centre shares new COVID guidelines, says ‘aerosols carrying virus can travel up to 10 meters’

The office of the Central Government’s principal scientific advisor Dr K VijayRaghavan on Thursday shared new COVID-19 guidelines on how to prevent the transmission of coronavirus.

The advisory titled ‘Stop the Transmission, Crush the Pandemic,’ states Aerosels, Droplets and Surfaces as three key routes of transmission from one person to another. The advisory states that while aerosels carrying the virus can be carried in the air up to 10 meters, droplets fall within 2 meters from an infected person.

The advisory read: “Saliva and nasal discharge in the form of droplets and aerosols carry the virus from one person to another. Large size droplets fall to the ground and on surfaces, and smaller aerosols particles are carried in the air to greater distances.

In closed-ventilated indoor spaces, droplets and aerosols become quickly concentrated and greatly increase the risk of transmission to people in the area.” The advisory added that “Infection transmission risk is much lower in outdoor areas, as virus particles get quickly dispersed.”

About surface transmission, the advisory read: “Droplets emitted by an infected person land on various surfaces. When someone touches these contaminated surfaces, and, without washing hands with soap, touches their mouth, nose or eyes, they can contract the virus. These virus laden droplets can survive on non porous surfaces such as glass plastic and stainless steel for a fairly long time.”
