The widely-used 6 ft rule does little to prevent COVID-9 exposure indoors, MIT researchers found.
The risk of exposure from an infected person is similar at 6 ft and 60 ft, one researcher said.
The study said that mask-wearing, ventilation, and what a space is used for are bigger variables.
The widely-used rule of staying 6ft away from others does little to affect the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in indoor spaces, according to a new study out of MIT.
According to MIT researchers, the rule is based on an outdated understanding of how the coronavirus moves in closed spaces.
