Coronavirus spreading through the air ? Big claim from 239 scientists, letter sent to WHO

If you are walking away from the crowd without wearing a mask or have not come in contact with any other person, do not think that you are not in danger of coronavirus, be careful, research done by many scientists around the world claims that COVID-19 is now spreading through the air.

Research by 239 scientists from 32 countries has shown that the Coronavirus lives in tiny particles in the air and can infect people.

However, according to a report in the newspaper, the health agency said there was evidence that the virus could survive in the air, but could not conclude that it was a virus that spreads from the air.
