COVID-19: Cough droplets fly over 2m: Prediction result at RIKEN supercomputer

COVID-19:

Cough splash path: Simulation (prediction)

Calculated using Kobe/Port Island/supercomputer “Fugaku”.

RIKEN (RIKEN) published the interim results on June 3.

Publish intermediate results:

Currently, a distance of 2 meters is recommended.

However, even with a distance of 2 meters, it was discovered that “a large amount of small droplets from a cough are sprayed on a person on the other side.”

RIKEN Center for Computational Science:

As a measure, we are calling for the use of masks and the use of partitions.
