CDC Posts Update On How COVID-19 Is Transmitted

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now acknowledging that COVID-19 can sometimes spread through airborne particles.  The CDC revised its guidance on the coronavirus and posted it on its website today.

The CDC’s new guidance says, “These transmissions occurred within enclosed spaces that had inadequate ventilation.Sometimes the infected person was breathing heavily, for example while singing or exercising.”

 


Last month… the CDC posted similar information about the coronavirus and then took it down, calling the post a mistake.

The updated guidance comes after the agency mistakenly posted a revision last month that said the virus.
