'Moving Activities Outdoors May Save Lives'

A Systematic Review published by the Journal of Infectious Diseases on November 29, 2020, found 'existing evidence supports the wide-held belief that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is low outdoors, less than 10% probability. And the historical evidence gleaned from influenza outbreaks further supports the lower risk of transmission outdoors.

However, the odds of indoor transmission were very high compared to outdoors (18.7 times; 95% CI 6.0, 57.9).

'These results suggest that moving activities to outdoor settings may reduce (SARS-CoV-2) infections and ultimately save lives,' concluded these researchers.
