Furthermore, a separate study published in the Indoor Air magazine confirms that when someone sings indoors and does not wear a mask, they unknowingly release small droplets that are transported with the help of air.

And when it cannot be done otherwise, ensure good ventilation so that the contaminated microdroplets do not have time to form aerosols. This will stop not only the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 but also all viral infections that affect the upper respiratory tract. Finally, they remember that the use of a mask even by the singers when singing and keeping a sufficient distance can be a lifesaver.
