“The coronavirus infection is not airborne but a droplet infection. Had it been an airborne infection, every person in a family of an infected person would have caught the virus because they all would be breathing the infected air by the infected family member. Same would apply for other patients in a hospital. In some cases, scientists have found it in some settings," said Raman R Gangakhedkar, head of epidemiology and communicable diseases at Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
