How to stay safe with a fast‑spreading new coronavirus variant on the loose

The new SARS-CoV-2 variant is already spreading in the US and could be dominant by March, the CDC warns. Here’s what that means for the masks you choose and how you practice social distancing.

What a smoky bar can teach us about the ‘6‑foot rule’ during the COVID‑19 pandemic

The 6-foot rule for social distancing doesn’t account for all risks, particularly indoors. Here’s what everyone needs to understand as cooler weather moves more activities inside.

El coronavirus puede transmitirse a través del aire. ¿Cómo se pueden detectar las partículas donde viaja el COVID‑19?

Con el fin de analizar y frenar la pandemia, varios laboratorios de investigación están trabajando en dispositivos que pueden detectar rápidamente el SARS-CoV-2 en el aire.

The COVID‑19 virus can spread through the air – here’s what it’ll take to detect the airborne particles

Miniaturized laboratory equipment is making it easier to identify airborne pathogens in the field, but there’s still work ahead to be able to instantly determine if a room is safe or contaminated.
