Yes, its true. Droplet can reach up to 1 meter or 2 gaz. But transmission through air virus remains for 1 -2 hrs. So even infected person doesn't come directly into contact, but become carrier for many.
Next Steps
Avoid ill ventilated and without exauhst room
Health Tips
Avoid unnecessary GATHERING and CT SCANS

Yes through air droplets... Start double masking. First surgical mask and on top of that a cloth mask is the best for this new strain of covid virus
