Vintersäsongens virus har slagit till – och covid-19 är fortsatt en del av vardagen. Men till skillnad från under pandemin har vi nu mer kunskap om hur viruset sprids via utandningsluften. Forskningsresultat från Lunds universitet visar att det räcker med några minuter i samma rum som en smittad person för att själv få viruset. Det är aerosolforskarna vid LTH som ligger bakom studien där virusets
