COVID-19Modes of transmission of Corona Virus

WHO has recently published a recommendation report stating the modes of transmission of Corona Virus (COVID-19).

WHO in its publication state “Respiratory infections can be transmitted through droplets of different sizes: when the droplet particles are >5-10 micro meter in diameter they are referred to as respiratory droplets, and when then are <5 micro meter in diameter, they are referred to as droplet nuclei.”

social distancing for corona virusEvidence suggest, COVID infection infection is referred generally through respiratory droplets, which means the droplet particles are 5-10 micro meters in size.

Transmission of COVID-19 through droplets generally occurs when a person generally within 1 meters of radius sneezes or coughs and also transmission through other bodily fluids.

With these studies suggestion respiratory droplet transmission, WHO recommends to maintain a social distance in public spaces of at-least 1 meters.

social distancing for corona virusApart from droplets, COVID-19 transmission can also occur through airborne particles. Airborne transmission can generally occur when microbes are present within droplet nuclei.

These airborne particles can remain airborne for a longer period of time and can infect a person at greater distance than one meters.

In one case, scientists have also found out that COVID-19 in some cases can also lead to intestinal infection and the virus can be transmitted through fecal matter. This theory requires more study.
