Beritasolo ■ A total of 239 scientists from 32 different countries claim that the corona virus is capable of airborne transmission.
Airbone or airbone disease is a disease that is contagious or spread through the air.
So that someone can be infected with the virus just because they breathe air that is contaminated with pathogens.
Through an open letter, the 239 scientists outlined the evidence showing that smaller virus particles can infect humans.
They called on the World Health Organization (WHO) to revise claims of Covid-19 transmission via droplets.
It is planned that the experts or scientists plan to publish airbone evidence in a scientific journal next week.
Quoted from Science Times, WHO previously said the corona virus spreads through droplets or droplets from coughing and sneezing of infected people.
In addition, the health organization said the virus will disappear in the air quickly because the particles are large.
But now many scientists are convinced that SARS-CoV-2 can air.
This means that virus particles can settle in the air and in the room
According to The New York Times, the recent increase in cases of infection occurred after the opening of the office.
This confirms the scientists' claim that the corona airbone virus, since a few months ago.
Rooms with poor air cycles are likely to be at the center of epidemics.
So that the mask is needed to prevent the risk of transmission both indoors and outdoors.
Health workers may also need an N95 mask capable of blocking droplets to airbone viruses when treating Covid-19 patients.
Ventilation systems in schools, nursing homes, and offices also need to be given stronger filters.
In addition, ultraviolet lights may be needed to kill virus particles floating in the room.
But in his latest Covid-19 journal released on June 29, the WHO said airborne transmission was likely to occur if there were medical procedures that caused the virus to aerosol, or become small particles floating in the air (intubation).
The particle is smaller than 5 microns, where one micron is equal to one millionth of a meter.
So that the N95 mask is only used when experiencing these conditions, according to WHO.
On the other hand, WHO has been recommending hand washing to avoid the spread of plague from the surface of objects.
In fact there is little evidence of corona virus transmission through the surface of objects, according to the CDC.
WHO Technical Leader in Infection Control, Benedetta Allegranzi said evidence of the corona virus spreading through the air was inconclusive.
"Especially in the last few months, we have stated several times that we consider air transmission to be possible, but of course it is not supported by strong or even clear evidence," he said.
"There is a strong debate about this," he added.
But interviews with nearly 20 scientists, including dozens of WHO consultants and several committee members who compiled the guidelines, show that this health organization is not scientific.
Although the virus comes out of sneezing and cough drops, experts confirm that corona is transmitted through the air and infects people when inhaled.
