Researchers think coronavirus and flu might spread from dust particles

The novel coronavirus might spread via dust particles, say researchers who studied aerosolized fomites influenza transmission. The researchers showed that flu virus from an infected animal subject would spread inside the cage and on the animal's body, and would remain viable for several days. The paper also proved that guinea pigs could generate plenty of particles via movement, and scientists showed that dust particles covered with contagious flu virus could reach the cages of healthy animals, ...
