Droplets containing coronavirus can travel up to 20 meters, says Belgian study.
This happens because when we move, we create a vacuum tunnel that leaves a trail of droplets that can infect other people nearby.
247 - A study conducted by the Belgian university KU Leuven, together with the Eindhoven University of Technology, stated that even at a distance of 1,5 meters, there is still a chance of coming into contact with droplets from infected people.
The study reveals that this possibility exists even when 20 meters away from another person, because when we move we create a vacuum tunnel that leaves a trail of droplets that can infect other people nearby. The result was obtained through the creation of a mathematical model and a simulator.
