According to a report from the Satellite News Agency website on July 28, a new survey of 2,000 people in the United States and the United Kingdom showed that people over 6 feet tall (about 1.83 meters) are at higher risk of contracting the covid-19 virus than people who are shorter. Doubled out.
The findings of the survey conducted by an international team of scientists including experts from the University of Manchester and the Open University in the United Kingdom found that tall people are at higher risk of contracting the covid-19 virus. This finding suggests that the covid-19 virus may also spread through aerosols carried by air currents, rather than spreading entirely through droplets. Droplets are larger than aerosols and fly shorter distances in the air.
Professor Evan Contopantellis of the University of Manchester said in a university press release issued on the 27th: “This survey on the correlation between height and diagnosis shows that droplet propagation is not the only transmission mechanism. Aerosol transmission is possible."
He said: "Although maintaining social distancing is still important because the possibility of droplet transmission is still high, it does show that there is no more effective preventive measure than wearing a mask." In addition, the air in the interior space should be further explored. Purify. "
The survey, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, also studied the impact of personal characteristics, environment, and working conditions on the transmission of the covid-19 virus.
