Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most pressing questions has been, how is the disease transferred between people? In most respiratory diseases, droplets are the most effective and common ways of transmission. As research into the SARS-CoV-2 virus progresses there is evidence to suggest that it is also spread through aerosols. Aerosol transmission explains why the disease is so infectious and how seemingly healthy people can spread the disease to others even from distances further than six feet.
