The coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can survive in the air for longer in humid conditions, a new study has reported.
SARS-CoV-2, which has killed around three-quarters of a million people worldwide, is carried in microscopic droplets emitted during natural respiratory activities, such as breathing, and talking.
But in an environment with high humidity – a high concentration of water vapour present in the air – droplets can travel up to 16 feet away.
