Last month, the CDC said 'less than 10%' of all coronavirus transmission is occurring outdoors
Health experts
argue that the true risk is believed to be below 1%, and may even be as low as 0.1%
New York Times David Leonhardt criticized the agency for publishing guidelines partially based on mischaracterized data
Among the research the CDC cited in defense was a study that found 95 of more than 10,000 cases in Singapore occurred outdoors
However, the Singapore Ministry of Health did not classify them as outdoors and many of the cases occurred in enclosed outdoor places
