Particles that come out of the mouth during a cough can travel more than 6 feet and carry with them enough of the Novel Corona virus to infect others.
This was revealed in a new medical study.
Medical experts are urging everyone to follow social distance measures during the corona virus epidemic, ie stay away from strangers or people they don’t live with.
This new study reinforces the evidence that a distance of at least 6 feet from the World Health Organization does not help protect against the disease.
The study by Singaporean researchers estimated that different types of particles could reach people standing 3.2 feet and 6.5 feet away during an individual’s cough.

The study found that a person standing at a distance of 3 feet is directly exposed to the virus and covers 65% of the particles.
According to research, the particles released during coughing or sneezing are of lubricating and wet type and which fall on the floor due to being heavy, which has a surprisingly viral load.
The study found that cough particles can reach people standing 6.5 feet away, in small amounts, but they must contain enough viruses to infect someone.
In both cases, the particles travel through the nose and mouth through a cough and reach nearby people, but most of the amount falls on the lower body.
For this reason, researchers believe that people may not inhale large particles directly into the body, but pass them through the skin or clothes to the mouth through the hands, causing them to become infected.
Experts say that of course, if particles fall on clothes, you do not get sick, but by breathing in these particles or rubbing clothes with your hands, you can get them inside you.

“Sneezing and coughing are dangerous and if two people are very close to each other, the virus is easily transmitted from one person to another,” he said.
“These particles fly like cannon balls and can fall on your eyes, nostrils and lips,” he said.
Viruses are spread through airborne or airborne sources, one is the release of large and heavy particles from the mouth and nose and the other is the small particles that dry up very quickly in the air.
Larger particles have more copies of the virus, but they are usually heavier and roar on the floor and nearby objects immediately after sneezing or coughing.
Tiny particles form in the back of the throat during talking, speaking or singing and dry out before falling to the floor.
The researchers said that shorter people, such as children and adolescents, were at greater risk of coughing than adults.
He suggested that short people should stay more than 6 feet away from those taller than themselves.
Earlier, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reported in April that particles released during coughing could travel more than 6 feet in the form of a cloud of gas.

Similarly, the tiny particles that form during speech or singing can travel long distances, so everyone should stay as far away from the other as possible.
According to research, gas clouds formed by coughing or sneezing can carry virus particles up to 8 meters away.
Experts say that’s why you should use a face mask to protect yourself from the virus, wash your hands often, and stay indoors as much as possible.
