There’s still much that scientists don’t know about the novel coronavirus, but new studies are beginning to shed some light on the mysterious virus. One new study has some decidedly unwelcome news.
According to Bloomberg News, a report from China reveals that the virus can continue to linger in the air of crowded spaces.
Researchers from Wuhan University, led by Ke Lan, set up “aerosol traps” to determine where the genetic material of COVID-19 tends to congregate. They found that it was present in particularly high concentrations in the air in hospital rooms where medical workers were removing protective gear.
It was also found in high concentrations in hospital toilets, supermarkets, and residential buildings where people tend to congregate.
