Coronavirus: Such people can spread corona virus faster than others, research claims

Even though vaccination has started worldwide, we are still experiencing fluctuations in the number of people infected with Covid-19. The increase in infection may not be due to adherence to corona prevention rules, but another major cause of the increasing number of cases is also super spreaders, who are spreading the infectious virus faster than others. Since the symptoms of this disease can be different for everyone and these symptoms are seen in some and not in others, some people can spread the virus to others as well. Possibly such people serve to fuel the spread of the epidemic. Let's know who can spread corona virus infection faster than others?

People with high body mass index

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences observed that people with obesity who have a higher body mass index (BMI) are at higher risk of spreading the infection to others. The reason for this is that such people are able to expel more respiratory droplets in the air. In this case, infectious corona virus particles also come out through them and they can infect other people as well. The findings came after a survey conducted on 194 people found that people with higher body mass index levels extracted more bio aerosols than those who had a controlled body mass index.

Elderly with high body mass index

If someone is elderly and has a high body mass index, they can also be super spreaders of the corona virus, as often the body's immunity decreases at this age. In such a situation, when they cough or sneeze, they expel more respiratory particles. With these particles, the corona virus gets into the air and more people are at risk of getting infected.

Young adult

In many previous researches, young adults have also been placed in the category of Super Spreader. According to studies, such people are not only more likely to get infected with new strains of corona, but many of them are also asymptomatic i.e they do not show signs of corona. In this situation, since they feel that they are not infected with corona, in fact, they are also infected and are spreading the infection to others as well. Lack of preventive measures, such as inadvertent wearing of masks may also make them susceptible to infection.
