How long that virus can stay in air after some one cough or sneeze so someone can get it accidently??

I mean, rooms, open-air areas as well

We need to be close enough to somebody for about 15 minutes

Dispersal after an infected person expels breath is less than 6 feet and gravity, within minutes, brings most to the ground.

HVAC can keep the virus suspended longer.

Within hours most is no longer airborne

Within hours it is rendered ineffective, wherever it rests

that depends on the virus and the airflow. Wait a few seconds (3-5) at least.

I honestly don't think they've arrived at solid conclusions about such things.

@Mamapolo2016 ok, what about other viruses, i thought that the virus particles fall directly to land after coughing or sneezing.. no it seems they have wings to stay enough in the air and infect too many people!

Mamapolo2016 · F

@salwa Well, they don't fall and stick to where they fall. Air currents are created by movement and can stir them up.

I just read they now think it can last on cardboard for up to 24 hours...

It's not airborne

@SW-User my question is about, getting infection from someone else, if sneezed or coughed for example in an area of 1 meter or two around you, i know it is not airborne!

@salwa the way you stated it made it sound as though.

@SW-User ok sorry, i will edit it!
