SINGAPORE July 6 (The Straits Times/ANN): While airborne transmission of the coronavirus is a possibility, experts here say it is not cause for panic, and that safe distancing and hygiene measures already in place in Singapore are generally sufficient to keep it in check.
This comes as 239 scientists from 32 countries signed an open letter to the World Health Organisation (WHO), calling for a new set of safety recommendations in the light of evidence that the virus can travel farther and remain suspended in the air for longer, The New York Times (NYT) reported.
