It is no longer an open secret: In addition to droplet and smear infection, the coronavirus also spreads via aerosols in room and breathing air. Until a few weeks ago, this warning was primarily being spread by foreign authorities such as the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) or numerous scientific studies – but it is now increasingly finding its way into the German media landscape.Corona risk: Is flying safer than dining out at a restaurant? We are convinced we have found the perfect solution to this question: Tables don’t need to remain empty!

Virologists and scientists are in agreement: Aerosols (tiny respiratory droplets) that linger in the air are one of the key reasons behind the rapid spread of coronavirus. Only about 10 per cent of coronavirus infections are transmitted via direct contact or smear infections. Half of all infections can be attributed to the inhalation of infectious aerosols that float invisibly in the air in closed rooms. This is the reason restaurants are often touted as potential hotspots, as places where large groups of people gather in a small amount of space. In order to prevent infection, a minimum distance of 2 metres needs to be maintained or tables kept empty.

In the retail trade, such as at the baker’s or optician’s or even in the gallery – wherever you and your employees as well as the customers spend longer periods of time in closed rooms, another particularly high risk of infection lurks beyond the known droplet infection – so-called aerosols. This is the name given to the fine, virus-containing mist of droplets that is already produced during normal breathing and speaking and which hovers in the air for a particularly long time as a highly infectious cloud. Professor Dr. Roland Netz from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin has found an explanation for this phenomenon – and also for the solution…

Financial advisers at banks and savings banks are increasingly taking personal appointments again, while their colleagues at the cash desks were indispensable even at the height of the Corona crisis. But there is still a particularly high risk of infection lurking at the advisor’s desk, at the cash desk and in the customer waiting area – the aerosol. This is the name given to the fine, virus-containing mist of droplets which is formed during normal breathing and speaking, and which floats in the air as a highly infectious cloud for a particularly long time. Professor Dr. Roland Netz from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin has found the explanation for this phenomenon – and also the solution …
