What is Viral Droplet?
According to Gary Whittaker, professor of virology at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, viral droplets are small germs that attach themselves to a cell and thus multiply. This cycle of infection goes on and on. When we sneeze, cough, laugh, talk or breathe, the virus is present inside the mucus and saliva released from the nose and mouth. When they do not come in contact with another person, it usually falls on the floor or the ground. On the other hand, if a person comes in contact, then he can infect it. At the same time, talking one-to-one or sharing food can also increase this danger.
