I spoke to Paulo Verardi, an associate professor of Virology and Vaccinology at the University of Connecticut, and he says – based on the evidence – that COVID-19 should actually be considered an airborne virus. Airborne is a designation that the World Health Organization has not yet given to COVID, but if it is an airborne virus, then that could require more effort to ensure safe airflow in classrooms.
