The World Health Organization is acknowledging the possibility that COVID-19 might be spread in the air under certain conditions -- after more than 200 scientists urged the agency to do so.
WHO has long dismissed the possibility that the coronavirus is spread in the air except for certain risky medical procedures, such as when patients are first put on breathing machines.
In a change to its previous thinking, WHO noted on Thursday that studies evaluating COVID-19 outbreaks in restaurants, choir practices and fitness classes suggested the virus might have been spread in the air. Airborne spread "particularly in specific indoor locations, such as crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces over a prolonged period of time with infected persons cannot be ruled out," WHO said.
And while eating indoors in restaurants is still off the table here, my dad, his sister, my sister and her kid were all happily dining in, in South Limburg yesterday (The Netherlands) on holiday for a couple weeks. I guess there are no worries in the Netherlands. (And eating in restaurants takes forever in Holland. One of the biggest culture shocks coming to Canada was actually getting waited on and not have to frantically try to get the attention of a waiter for half an hour lol)
