Fauci: 'Good enough data' on aerosol spread

“Aerosol means the droplets don't drop immediately, they hang around for a period of time.” Fauci said in an interview with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, adding that this becomes 'very relevant' indoors where there is poor ventilation.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took down its guidance warning on possible airborne transmission of the novel coronavirus, saying that the draft recommendation was posted in error.

CDC Director Robert Redfield told lawmakers on Thursday that his agency will release new guidance on the role of aerosolized coronavirus in its spread.
