Findings reveal large, medium and small cough droplets can spread in different ways depending on the outdoor conditions. Larger droplets, which fall to the ground quickly due to gravity, can travel one metre even without wind. (Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto)Findings reveal a single 100-micrometer cough droplet can travel up to 6.6 metres under wind speed of two metres per second. He added: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led many researchers to study airborne droplet transmission in different conditions and environments. The researchers used computational tools to solve complicated mathematical formulations representing air flow and the airborne cough droplets.
