Two Seconds

---

Ministers to be reported, to consider whether a relaxation of the two-Meter rule for social distancing in workplaces.

It could be apart to make it easier for people to stay back on jobs where it is not always possible.

But it's an important question, whether That would be safe, so little is known about how far The Virus can spread.

A new report by the government of the scientific advisors on the latest research on the risks is through the soon to be released evaluation.

What is the science about the rule?

There are a variety of recommendations in different countries, but a simple guide is That The Closer you are to someone who is infected, the greater The Risk .

The World health organization says That is a distance of one Meter, whereas other suggest 1. 5m, or 1. 8m with The British decision to go for two meters.

A simple guide is That The Closer you are to someone who is infected, the greater The Risk .

Also, the more you spend in close proximity to you, the more your chances of catching The Virus .

This is the reason why The British government says That where there is Face -to-Face contact is important", this should be kept to 15 Minutes or less, wherever possible".

And One of the leading scientists says That timing and can really make a difference.

"for Two Seconds , a Meter apart, is as dangerous as spending a minute or two meters of each other," he says.

Where is it coming from the two-meter rule?

can, Surprisingly, be traced Back To the research in The 1930S .

at That time, scientists have found That droplets of the liquid, is released through coughing or sneezing, either quickly in the air, or dragged to be vaporized by the force of gravity down to the ground.

And most of the droplets, they anticipate, would the country within one to two meters.

This is why I said it is, The Greatest risks come from the with The Virus coughed you up - close, or by touching a Surface And Then Your Face -That someone coughed.

How fitting is That ? Many scientists in terms of proximity and Surface contacts as the main means of transmission.

But some researchers are worried That the Corona Virus is carried in droplets.

do you worry That you will be also transported through the air in tiny particles, called aerosols.

If That is the case, Then the flow of the wind from someone, the breath could carry The Virus over long distances. to capture

Professor Lydia Bourouiba from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (mit) high-speed cameras, a cough to project miniature spots as far as six meters.

she is critical of the current security Advisory: "this false notion of safety at one to two Meter -That somehow the drops are not easy to fall to the ground on the distance - based on what we quantified and visualized to be measured directly. "

And the one found traces of coronavirus in Covid-19 stations and intensive care units, estimated That four meters better in a safe distance.

But for the U.S. centers for Disease Control, The Role of the aerosols in the spread of The Virus "currently uncertain".

And what is still to be determined is, whether The Virus is spreading more than two meters can still be infectious.

it Is safer to be outside than inside?

There is a broad consensus That The Answer is Yes.

This is the reason why the construction is usually allowed under The First kind of work, if the locks have facilitated.

in order to try To learn more, building on the contacts of the infected people.

it is estimated That the opportunities will be given to a infection, were almost inside 19 times more than when out in the Fresh Air .

their study came to the conclusion: "It is plausible That closed environments contribute to secondary transmission of Covid-19 and promote super-spreading events. "

Why we have no final answers?

It is only a couple of months, because the coronavirus is originated and in this Short Time , scientists have learned a lot about you.

But it is a long way to go and confirm exactly the correct distance is one of the Unanswered Questions .

It can be done take a careful studies of how The Virus is, and how useful it remains That take all of the time.

Might help to wear Face masks?

in the Midst of the uncertainty, pushing many governments to order their citizens, their faces covered.

In Spain, who have to get by Public Transport from Monday to wear a mask, and the same is true in Germany.

The logic is That where you keep, is realistic - what is the maximum distance, it is recommended to a home-made cover can limit, how much The Virus is released from infected person in the mouth or nose.

those That are not worn should be in closed rooms, medical mask.

The British government is still considering, to advise what, in The British public as a whole.

health professionals have long been concerned That medical and nursing staff could lose if stocks would get caught and the masks give people a false sense of security to give you, with other measures such as social distancing.

the Prime Minister , That the masks can help to slow the spread of the disease and can The People trust their jobs, probably operated, in which two-Meter separation is not an option.
