“There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes),” the updated guidelines said. “In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.”
The updated guidelines, however, were quickly taken down from the site and the CDC’s current guidance no longer mentions airborne transmission. The agency has since stated that the pulled guidelines were part of a draft version of proposed changes and were posted “in error.”
“A draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error to the agency’s official website,” the CDC’s page now states. “CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.”
