TRIBUNBATAM.id - Head of the Eijkman Molecular Biology Institute, Amin Soebandrio said, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can stay in the air for eight hours.
"The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can stay in the air for up to eight hours, quite a long time," Amin said in a Polemic discussion in Jakarta, Saturday (11/07/2020).
Amin explained, the virus that flew in the air originally came from droplets or splashes that came out of someone's mouth.
The splashes then evaporate and change into small particles that still carry the virus.
"Once the virus flies, some of the water will evaporate, the longer it (the virus) is in the air, the water content will decrease, so the particles will be smaller," Amin said.

Therefore, the risk of Covid-19 transmission through the air in a closed room that contains many people will be higher because the particles containing the virus are only circling in the room.
He also appealed to the public not to speak too loudly in order to reduce the potential for droplets to come out of the mouth when talking.
Reported earlier, WHO acknowledged "emerging evidence" about the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes Covid-19 by air in a media briefing in Geneva on Tuesday (07/07/2020).
Maria Van Kerkhove, technical leader of the Covid-19 pandemic at WHO, said that they had talked about the possibility of airborne transmission and aerosol transmission (virus particles floating in the air) as a form of transmission from Covid-19. (*)
