Is covid airborne?

Can be: This virus, like most that infect the upper respiratory tract can be carried on micro-particles exhaled from the lungs with each breath. These are generally pushed out 2-3 feet normally but a cough can cast them 20 feet. They can linger in the air but are dispersed by the airflow/wind. This is why masks can reduce spread.

COVID 19: Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) that increase risk for airborne COVID 19 transission include open suctioning of airways, sputum induction, cardiopulmonary resuscitation & endotracheal intubation. However, there is growing evidence that there can be airborne transmission in a normal setting.
