In the article they explicitly talk about this, the technical term is that it is spread by aerosols (basically, smaller droplets) in addition to droplets. This is similar to TB, which generally requires patients to stay in negative pressure rooms and their caregivers to wear N95 instead of surgical masks. As with all things with infectious diseases (like asymptomatic spread) it's less useful to ask whether it's possible to spread in a certain way, and better to ask whether that way is a large driver of new infections. For hospital workers, maybe; for the general public, probably not. |
