Poonam Singh has said in her statement that reports of Covid-19 spreading in the air have not been received yet.

For this reason the WHO recommends hand and respiratory hygiene.

The WHO stated that Chinese officials reported that aerosol could transmit in relatively closed environments, such as hospitals being exposed to high density aerosols in the ICU and CCU. However, to understand the spread of this type of virus, more research and analysis of epidemiological data is needed.
