The agency previously said the virus mainly spreads from person to person through respiratory droplets when a sick person coughs, sneezes or talks.
The updated guidance, posted on the agency's website on Friday, also recommended that people use air purifiers to reduce airborne germs indoors to avoid the disease from spreading. Airborne viruses are among the most contagious, and the CDC warned that poorly-ventilated places increase the risk of spreading.
Studies have shown that the new coronavirus could spread through aerosols in the air, and the World Health Organization has said it is monitoring “emerging evidence” of possible airborne transmission.
What a BIG NEWS!!! Does your journalist just know about now?!
They just know?
Since April Harvard Medical School show the research attesting COVID-19 stay on the air for at least 3 hours...
Aerosol nature of the Wuhan Covid19 has long been explained. Now the reasearch agencies have to grapple with reinfection issues. The vaccine could prove to be ineffective, if the mutation of virus on reinfection is confirmed. More&more it seems synthetic in nature&antivirus reqd.
I'm sure Phil Collins sang something like that!maybe he knew long time ago 😁
No shit.
Well, wasn’t Bob Woodward told just that in 2/2020?
See what Trump has done to such institutions? We tried warning his cult members about the dangers of politicizing our institutions. The CDC has become 'unbelievable'.... literally
Really?!
CDC is no longer credible; telling everyone shit that was already obvious.
No shit?
Why is this a headline today? Because frightened people are more compliant. Stop spreading this bullshit! If the virus wasn't previously spread via the air, then I guess previous cases can be attributed to a different virus? The media SUCKS.
The CDC says a lot of useless shit🙄 scamdemic2020 wakethefckupAmerica yourebeingplayed
Chinese scientists had issued stark warning claiming Covid19 virus found to be 'airborne' since early February but routinely dismissed by scientists around the globe including the WHO!!
It certainly wouldn’t get very far if there was no air.
Every Chinese person know this fact in February this year. There is a very huge information gap between China and the world, China knows the world, but the world continue to misunderstanding China.
Ok...this is already common knowledge. So what?
annnnnnnnnd it's gone
realDonaldTrump :'Hoax!'
🙄
No. Fucking. Kidding. Now tell us something we DON'T know.
WTF…I think Chinese CDC inform this to WHO at the beginning of this year? WTF US CDC saying now？
In news no one is surprised by ..
We are okay with anything. What next!!
No shit!!! You act like this is news
'could'? Oh, geez. No wonder we are the worst in the world. PresidentLysol won't let them say 'does' so the deniers will still be going strong and preserving their freedumb from the deadly facemask. incompetentboob LiarInChief
This is not new. Of course it is spread through the air. That’s why intelligent Governor’s require masks, social distancing and place on limits gatherings and business occupancy. It spread thru the air like SARS-1 and MERS.
'A draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error to the agency’s official website. CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2'
What about saying COVID-19 5 times in the mirror? 🤔
Something Trump knew in February.
yeah....we've known this since March...wtf
Uh, yes.
