The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged that the virus that causes Covid-19 is airborne and can be transmitted through respiratory fluids.

The CDC updated its public guidelines and mentioned that respiratory fluid during exhalation creates droplets across sizes. These droplets carry the virus and transmit infection.

The acknowledgement from CDC comes nearly a month after a paper was published in The Lancet journal claiming that the SARS-CoV-2 is airborne.
