Coronavirus pandemic accelerating, still short of peak, says WHO

GENEVA - The World Health Organisation on Tuesday acknowledged"evidence emerging" of the airborne spread of the novel coronavirus, after a group of scientists urged the global body to update its guidance on how the respiratory disease passes between people.

Because those smaller exhaled particles can linger in the air, the scientists are urging WHO to update its guidance.
