have you ever heard that corona virus can spread through the air? / myLot

first when the covid virus spread in Indonesia, I found out how this virus is spreading, how do we prevent it from becoming infected. the information I got was that the corona virus can spread through droplets and the droplets are inhaled directly by humans or the droplets stick to objects and if we touch them they will become infected. the latest information that I got was even more worrying, that the droplet could spread through the air. meaning that if we are in a place where the air is contaminated with covid and we don't use masks, it will be infected. What do you think?

we had that information at the beginning of this situation, but now it's common that it's spread through droplets. anyways, i think it's the best option not to read anything about it. so annoying.

@Young_boy i'm sure it does. but you can either stress about it, or be like me - don't follow anything about it anymore.

Wearing a mask is certainly a sensible thing to do but it's less effective in preventing you from catching the virus than it is in stopping a person from passing it on if they are already infected. The most important things to do are to avoid meeting people indoors, to keep at least 2 metres away from other people, to avoid touching your face and to wash your hands frequently (so that you don't transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth). Since the virus is mostly transmitted in droplets which everyone breathes out, especially when coughing, talking or breathing heavily, wearing a mask will stop the droplets from projecting too far if you are already infected, As you will be unlikely to show symptoms for at least a week, it makes sense that everyone should wear a mask in public in order to prevent others from catching it.

Yes possible because that virus is present at the droplets and it spread throughout the air can carry over which we can inhale wedont wear face mask. That's why social distancing and wearing mask is very important.

Before at the beginning of corona i already taught that will spread through air because makes me wonder how it spread so fast around the world. But they are saying no,it will spread through droplets and touching things. It's possible that will spread through air.

This is why we still have to wear the mask to go out. Actually this is a rule we must wear the mask when we are outside. Although the situation is better here, but I think this rule will remain until one day there is a treatment or accine.
