Francesca Cipriani 1,668 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 A recent case study of a dozen passengers infected with COVID-19 after taking a bus suggested that the coronavirus can survive at least 30 minutes and transmit 4.5 meters in a closed air-conditioned environment, triggering concerns over safety of public transportation. The research paper, co-authored by medical staff members of the Chinese Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Luo Kaiwei, Hai Zheng and others, was published on Thursday, Shanghai-based media outlet The Paper reported on Sunday. The research paper looked into the possibility of transmission of the aerosol in a closed environment. The paper introduced a case of a cluster of infections in Hunan Province in which a passenger, or Patient A, was not wearing a face mask and infected eight other people in an air-conditioned bus on January 22. Patient A was confirmed to have contracted the virus on January 28. Also on January 22, Patient A took another air-conditioned shuttle bus for about one hour and infected two more people. The eleventh infection was a passenger who took the shuttle bus half an hour after Patient A got off the bus, which suggested that the virus can effectively survive in a closed air-conditioned environment for at least 30 minutes and cause human disease, said the paper. Two of the passengers infected by Patient A went on to infect their relatives. The distance between Patient A and the nearest infected passenger in the bus was less than 0.5 meters, and the farthest about 4.5 meters. Patient A and the farthest infected passenger did not have close contact on the way. Most of the passengers were not wearing face masks. https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1182008.shtml+ Please, stay safe don't leave your home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does a very poor job of preventing it and mostly just traps virus particles.. At this point you are much more likely to catch the flu. Leave the facemasks for the sick people so they don't cough on us. They are the ones who need them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
