Airborne Transmission of COVID-19

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now says COVID-19 can be spread through airborne transmission according to updated guidance on the agency’s website. The update to their guidance explains airborne transmission and likens its risk of airborne infection to that of tuberculosis, measles and the chicken pox. This comes after a mishap 2 weeks ago when guidance was published, then promptly removed citing, “a posting mistake”  made by the CDC.
