With warmer weather on the way and loosening restrictions all over the country, many Americans have begun questioning how safe outdoor activities are this summer. The New York Times spoke to several health experts in an attempt to answer this question. According to these experts, the bottom line is that being around people outside your family unit outdoors is almost always safer than indoors, however, that doesn’t mean there isn’t any risk.
All of the experts interviewed by The New York Times agreed that the risk of transmitting or contracting the novel coronavirus is lower when people are outdoors. The main reason for this is that the droplets containing the virus quickly get diluted outdoors. Even a soft breeze helps to scatter the droplets, which makes it less likely that they’ll be inhaled, which is how the virus spreads.
