If you need a reason to wear a face covering on public transport, this is it 😷

The simulation, created by scientists at the University of Oregon, shows how an infected person talking to someone up close on the Tube or similar would cover them with the virus if there is a failure to social distance.

Although the droplets don’t travel as far as they would if you sneezed – around seven metres – they can still travel further than you would expect from just talking or breathing.Respiratory scientist at the University of Leicester, Dr Julian Tang, said on BBC News: ‘If you are breathing and talking obviously droplets don’t travel as far, but they can travel far enough to affect your friend sitting opposite you, or someone who’s chatting to you.

Scientists say this is why it is still important to wash hands regularly and wear face coverings in such environments to stop the spread of the virus. It comes as people in England prepare to return to work on Monday as schools start to reopen to some children.Scientists say people should wear face coverings in such environments to stop the spread of the virus
