How to avoid community transmission: 

Corona infection risk 10 times higher than 1 meter at 2 meters, just distancing in low ventilation areas will not work.

The theory of social distancing is more than 120 years old, it has been tried in two epidemics before Corona.Experts criticized the formula given by the WHO, saying the probability of transmission within a distance of two meters is just 1%.

Social distancing is extremely important to avoid coronavirus. But do you know how much distance is required to avoid the virus. The opinion of scientists has been different from day one. Now experts are offering a new formula for social distancing. They say that a distance of 2 meters is 10 times safer than 1 meter. Apart from this, social distancing is not enough in small and low ventilation areas.

What do health agencies say about social distancing?

A commission constituted by the WHO conducted studies on physical distancing in the transmission of the corona. It showed that the risk of transmission is 12.8% in physical distancing of less than 1 meter, while in one meter up to 2.6%.

According to a study by Britain's Scientific Advisory Group, transmission at a distance of 1 meter is 2 to 10 times higher in risk than a distance of 2 meters.

Experts criticize the WHO, saying that the Commission had put the facts of the old study in front of the world as its conclusion. Almost the same rule was also used during SARS and MARS viruses.

Distancing alone will not do

The transmission risk of breathing droplets is high because of not getting outside air in small and low ventilation areas. In such places, masking along with distancing is extremely important.

A distance of at least one meter should be made in open and large areas. However, a distance of two meters is much safer. Experts say that the possibility of transmission within a distance of two meters is just 1%.

Know where social distancing theory came from?

How much risk of transmission in place?

More distancing will have to be done in a small and closed room. The distance to physical distancing also depends on the size and ventilation of the room or hall where you are. Physical distancing of 1 meter should be maintained at places with low risk and medium risk.

But a distance of 2 meters or more has to be made at high risk places. The research agency The BMJ has divided different places into High Risk, Medium Risk and Low Risk. Let's know where is the risk level?
