“Regarding the World Health Organization statement on possible airborne transmission, what is said there is it’s airborne if it’s in a confined hospital setting,” DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a press conference.
Vergeire made the clarification in response to a U.S. study that showed that when the virus is carried by the droplets released when someone coughs or sneezes, it is still able to infect people in aerosols for at least three hours. “Ito pong sakit sa COVID-19 is still transmitted through droplet transmissions and close contact,” the Health undersecretary explained.
Vergeire added that the reproductive rate of the virus shows that one person can transmit it to two persons in one sitting based on the age group to which most of the confirmed COVID-19 cases belong. “The WHO and epidemiologists in our country made a modeling estimate that 75,000 cases in the span of three months ay aabutin natin kung hindi tayo maglalagay ng interventions,” she added.“It can reach that peak but we can flatten this curve,” Vergeire said.
It is airborne. It's not as airborne as measles, but it is airborne.
