Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have revised their guidelines on coronavirus.
In the new regulation, this institution seems to emphasize that the virus that causes the Covid-19 disease can spread in the air, where the virus can lag behind and last from several minutes to hours.
The CDC said there was evidence that a person with Covid-19 would likely infect other people up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) away from him, in confined, poorly ventilated spaces.
“In this case, the transmission occurred in a closed and poorly ventilated room, which often involved activities that caused more severe breathing, such as singing or exercising,” the CDC said in a statement while emphasizing sneezing and coughing. 10/6/2020).
“People can protect themselves from the virus that causes Covid-19 by keeping a distance of at least 6 feet from other people, wearing masks that cover their nose and mouth, washing their hands frequently, frequently cleaning touched surfaces, and staying in the room. hospital when they are sick. “
Still, according to the CDC, close contact with someone with Covid-19 is more common to infect someone than through the air.
Earlier, a group of American scientists gave an open letter that aerosols left in the air could be a major source of Covid-19 transmission.
“The reality is that airborne transmission is the primary form in which transmission occurs in the vicinity of prolonged contact,” the researchers said in a news release.
Meanwhile, American infectious disease specialists at Vanderbilt University said the guidelines are in line with what science has to say. She emphasized that for commercial premises, where many people come to work every day, the ventilation needs to be checked twice.
“The air handling system that we have needs to be reviewed, looking at how efficient it is and if it gets enough air exchange per hour, and where is the congested angle of the building,” he said.
