Terrifying video shows how single cough spreads coronavirus across a supermarket
The UK is now in its third week of lockdown, with Brits urged to stay inside other than to pick up essentials and to exercise.
While most supermarkets have imposed social distancing measures, a new study suggests that they may not be enough to stop the spread of the virus.
Researchers from Aalto University have revealed that a single cough can spread coronavirus across an entire supermarket.
In the study, the researchers looked at how extremely small respiratory particles are transported in the air after coughing, sneezing, and even talking.
The team modelled a scenario where a person coughs in a supermarket aisle, and amazingly, found that the particles spread around the supermarket rapidly.
