1. Wear a face mask when you speak in close proximity to other people.

 

2. Stay at least two metres away from other people who do not wear a mask, lest they speak to you and infect you.

LOL. There's nothing 'breaking' about this.

 

Most of us knew about that months ago. That's why wearing masks helps to prevent the spread.

Please note:

• "in an enclosed space" - so not out on the street, on the beach, etc. (which is why beaches must be locked, right?).
• "their likely role in spreading" - so it is likely, but not confirmed. Please correct the headline.

Exactly, nothing new at all, just common sense. This is the way you get influenza and colds. Just nobody cares, it is not hyped up, despite the fact that influenza kills quite many.

Up until now it was widely accepted that coughing or sneezing would pass a Virus on through water droplets spray only now is it proven to be transmitted through talking as well.

Anyway just info personally I wonder if breathing will also transmit the Virus as well??
