Airborne transmission of covid 19 Aerosols

The request was partially successful.

Dear Public Health England,

There is now good solid scientific opinion among some of the world's eminent scientists that covid 19 is transmitted by airborne particles known as aerosols. Professor Kimberly Prather Distinguished Professor and Distinguished Chair in Atmospheric Chemistry, University of California is just one of those.

Science suggests that long-term exposure (15+ mins) in close proximity to people in poorly-ventilated small break rooms & dining areas where there’s no social distancing & no one’s wearing face masks (b/c they’re optional)] is a problem.

UK businesses implement Health & Safety measures to protect their staff based upon guidance from you.

Please provide me with details of any scientific evidence / guidance you have or are currently receiving and why you are not updating UK businesses with this as it stands your guidance on this is at best weak or non existent.

Yours faithfully,
Lee Odams
