A person infected with the coronavirus can infect dozens of other people if care is not taken, but now new research on family members and spouses has made a startling revelation. According to Mail Online, scientists have stated that the risk of transmitting corona virus from one member of the family to another is only 17%. In contrast, the risk of transmitting the virus from one partner to the other is higher (37.8%).
In the study, scientists at the University of Florida analyzed data from 77,000 corona virus patients and compiled the results. At home, such patients affected 18% of family members who had already shown signs of the epidemic. In contrast, infected people who showed no symptoms and did not even know they had the virus transmitted the virus to only 0.7% of other household members.
According to the report, the investigation team said that "suspected or confirmed cases of corona virus are instructed to isolate themselves at home. In this case, the patient and other members of the household should also wear face masks indoors and take other precautions. ”
