Coronavirus Particles Can Be Airborne Indoors– NCDC Warns by xpmode(m): 11:12am On Jul 14, 2020
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has admitted the possibility that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic might be spread in the air under certain conditions after about 200 scientists’ findings.

Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, Directir-General, NCDC, disclosed this at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 briefing on Monday in Abuja, said the scientists urged the World Health Organisation (WHO) to review its guidelines.

The World Health Organization (WHO) now formally recognised that the Coronavirus could be transmitted indoors by droplets in the air.
Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC said in a scientific brief that People who spent time in crowded settings with poor ventilation ran the risk of being infected by the coronavirus as the droplets circulate throughout the air in indoor gatherings.

The admission came after a crush of criticism from experts pushing the Organisation to update its description of the virus’s spread to include the possibility of airborne infections.

WHO now acknowledges that transmissions via aerosols, or tiny air droplets, could have been behind “outbreaks of COVID-19 reported in some closed settings, such as restaurants, nightclubs, places of worship or places of work where people may be shouting, talking, or singing.”

Corona viruses are generally respiratory pathogens.
A great number of respiratory pathogens are aerosols!
I wonder why it took the W.H.O such a long time to endorse these characteristics!
I think they've been hiding somethings about COVID-19.The truth will soon manifest!!
