Study finds face masks cut distance airborne pathogens can travel in half

Miami, Florida – According to Florida scientists’ new evidence, face masks help reduce the spread of airborne diseases like COVID-19.

They found face masks cut the distance airborne pathogens can travel in half.

They also found three feet of distance with a mask is better than six feet unmasked.

Researchers found the vaccine protected children from serious illness, and that’s even if they came down with a flu virus that was different from the one in the vaccine.

According to health experts, it’s even more evidence children should get the flu shot in addition to a COVID-19 vaccine this season.
