6 feet social distancing is not enough for avoid coronavirus infection A new disclosure has been made about the corona virus which is very thoughtful. In fact, a new study has revealed that the rules given by the World Health Organization and the Center regarding the precaution are not enough. Let us tell you that with the increasing prevalence of corona, it was told that there should be a distance of at least six feet to avoid infection. But, now new research has revealed that this deadly virus can go up to 20 feet. Six feet is not enough for this.

 

For this, scientists tested it in various environments. Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA were also involved in this test. According to their research, this virus can be more dangerous in different climates. If they believe, infectious drops can go up to 20 feet during coughing, sneezing or exhaling. Meaning that this dangerous virus can spread three times more in cold or damp weather. So a distance of six feet is not enough.

 

According to a research published in the English website, Medical Express and ET, large droplets freeze on a nearby surface due to gravity, while small droplets are able to carry the virus far. These drops evaporate rapidly in the air and can roam for hours.

 

This is the reason why scientists have assumed that its spread in winter and humid weather can be up to 19.7 feet. Therefore, according to him, a distance of 6 feet is not helpful in protecting from the dangerous infection of the corona. For this, social distancing of at least 20 feet has to be adopted. He also said that masking it is the right way. The probability of the virus spreading through aerosol particles from the mask is slim.

 

Let us tell you that in India too, this virus has affected badly. The number of infected patients is increasing rapidly every day. There have been 6535 new cases in the last 24 hours. With this, the total number of corona patients in the country has exceeded one and a half lakh. At the same time, the death of 4337 people has been confirmed so far. In such a situation, what is the preparation for Lockdown 5.0. In which areas more relaxation will be given or where further restrictions will be imposed.
