Covid-19, that's why masks and distances are not enough. The new international study makes this clear: it makes sense to wear masks and keep your distance, but this shouldn't give you a false sense of security. Even with a mask, infectious droplets can be transmitted for several meters and remain in the air longer than you think. The research involved the Vienna University of Technology, the University of Florida, the Sorbonne in Paris, the American Clarkson University and the MIT in Boston, and is described in theInternational Journal of Multiphase Flow.

The study is signed by the Italian Alfredo Soldati of TU Wien. "Large droplets are pushed down by gravity, small ones move forward almost in a straight line, and even as they evaporate an aerosol particle remains. This allows viruses to spread over distances of several meters and remain in the air for a long time. So it is possible to get in contact with the virus even when observing the distancing rules, such as an elevator used by infected people or meeting rooms. Masks are therefore useful because they block large droplets and it is also okay to keep a safe distance,but our results show that none of these measures can provide guaranteed protection. "
