A member asked:
Some people were coughing in the public restroom, im wearing my mask, just wondering if germs stay in the air. for all situations, if anyone walks through, will any germs be in the air and transmit covid as anyone walk by the area? if masks are worn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stuff stays in the air for differing amounts of time depending on the size of the particles in the cough. And the chances of you breathing them in depends on the quality of the mask you are wearing and how good of a fit have and which size the coughed particles are. You can go to CDC.gov and read more.
