A new, peer-reviewed and vetted study by researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center confirms the coronavirus can be spread through tiny airborne particles, not just larger droplets from coughing and sneezing.
The study is published in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology and used data from people who had been quarantined aboard a cruise ship last year. Dr. Josh Santarpia is the research director of the University of Nebraska’s National Strategic Research Institute. He said follow-up research helped determine what size of particle could transmit SARS-coV-2 virus.
