Not 2 meters, Social Distancing turns out to be at least 6 meters
News24xx.com - In certain conditions or scenarios, keeping a distance of 2 meters in order to avoid Covid-19 transmission from people who are coughing or sneezing seems not enough. Because the corona virus can transmit someone through the air.
"Our understanding of the mechanism of airborne virus transmission is incomplete. It is very important to decide on a scenario that allows the transmission of this distance by considering environmental conditions (wind speed, relative humidity, and temperature)," said Vice President of Global Partnerships at Nicosia University, Professor Dimitris Drikakis .

"Therefore, we aim to increase understanding of the transfer of airborne particulate carriers to humans, through modeling and simulation of doubling the flow of advanced droplet fluid," he continued, quoted from ZMW Science, Wednesday, May 20, 2020.
From the results of computational fluid dynamics simulations, Drikakis and Talib Dbouk, from Nicosia University model the water flowing in the air when coughing. There are several factors that affect its spread, namely temperature, humidity, wind speed, and pressure.
As a result, water from people who cough or sneeze can fly as far as 6 meters in just 5 seconds at a wind speed of 4 km / hour. Of course this distance is far enough for the rather slow wind speed.

"The main message of this research is that keeping a distance of two meters will not be enough. Concentration of droplets when coughing and sneezing can significantly reach a considerable distance," said Drikakis.
So, always use a mask and stay at home. If you need to leave the house, make sure you wear a mask and keep your distance from people.
