A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that the coronavirus is able to travel up to 13 feet through the air and can spread around on people’s shoes, appearing to go beyond initial suggestions that six feet of distance is safe.
As the New York Post reported, the new research was shared in the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal that is published by the CDC. It found that the virus is able to spread through the air more than twice as far as previously thought, and that signs of the deadly virus were found on the shoes of medical staff in a hospital intensive care unit.
This suggested that medical professionals have the capability to spread the coronavirus far outside the confines of the hospital.
“Therefore, the soles of medical staff shoes might function as carriers,” the report noted.
