The CDC said Monday that the coronavirus can spread from tiny, airborne particles, adding to earlier guidance about it spreading only through respiratory droplets.
The new update also stated evidence shows that the virus can spread through airborne particles to people who are more than six feet apart under certain conditions. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the virus is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets, not from the airborne particles.
