British scientists have sharply criticized the recommendations to follow the social distance to protect against coronavirus.
Gadin.Net reports that this was reported by the Independent.
According to them, the recommendations to keep the distance of two meters to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and to protect it are based on outdated scientific data from the 1940s.
Experts believe that instructions on social distance should not be a central element of pandemic measures, and different conditions should be considered when developing rules for combating COVID-19.
"The spread of viral particles is influenced by many factors, including airflow," the scientists said.
According to them, the recommendations should take into account a number of factors - the type of activity, conditions (outdoor or indoor), the level of ventilation, wearing a mask, as well as the duration of contact, human susceptibility to infection and viral load of the transmitter.
Based on all this information, a comprehensive approach to pandemic prevention can be established.
Scientists say more flexible instructions could allow them to return to normal life and help countries recover.
