Researchers from the Higher Council for Scientific Research recommend people not to speak while traveling by subway or public transport to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The idea is explained by the fact that, according to studies, this measure would significantly reduce the risk of infection.
For months epidemiologists around the world have been calling for tougher measures against the spread of the virus through the air. In addition to keeping your distance, maintaining good hygiene, and wearing protective masks, ventilation is also recommended as one of the key measures against the spread of infection. According to Maria Cruz Mungion, to those already listed we must add another measure: silence in public transport, reports Nova TV.
“It would be ideal if the subway started a ‘permanent silence’. Silence and a suitable mask reduce the risk. “If we talk on the phone or speak louder because the subway is noisy, 50 times more aerosols are released,” he said.
This measure is very important because there is no ventilation in the metro, and if a virus carrier uses the metro, it is important that the air is less polluted. According to scientists, this measure should also apply to other types of public transport.
