Coronavirus: Airborne transmission cannot be ruled out, WHO says

Coronavirus: Airborne transmission cannot be ruled out, WHO says The World Health Organization has acknowledged there is emerging evidence that the coronavirus can be spread by tiny particles suspended in the air.

The airborne transmission could not be ruled out in crowded, closed or poorly ventilated settings, an official said.

If the evidence is confirmed, it may affect guidelines for indoor spaces. BBC News
