World Health Organisation has finally acknowledged that there is emerging evidence that the coronavirus disease can be spread by air. So far, WHO has declared that the pandemic is not airborne, but now, as per its recent study, it says that there is a probability that the disease can be transferred via tiny droplets that stay floating foul air. Scientists have accused that WHO was not willing to hear their testimony notwithstanding many discussions with them because of which they decided to go public with the report.  

WHO stated that evidence implying airborne transmission of coronavirus cannot be ignored or ruled out and needs further assessment. For months, WHO said that the virus is spread through tiny droplets that come out of an infected patient's mouth or nose and falls on surfaces. And if a non-infected person touches and then makes a contact through his/her mouth, nose, eyes will catch the disease. However, the UN body is now asserting that there is a possibility of airborne transmission in crowded or closed spaces.
