Maintaining a two-metre distance 'will keep you safe 99% of the time,' according to the WHO's Special Envoy on Covid-19

Maintaining a two-metre distance"will keep you safe 99% of the time," according to the WHO's Special Envoy on Covid-19.

"That's because that will keep you safe 99% of the time but you can greatly reduce risk even at one metre because 70% of the droplets will stick within one metre." He said:"But if you are in a difficult situation where you have to be in close proximity to someone, if you're providing care or if you are working in factory where two metres doesn't work you can still greatly reduce the risk by being one metre away."
