As reported that covid is airborne and aerosols fly upto 10 meters. Should I wear a mask while having a walk on terrace of my independent 2 storey house?? Or is it safe to have a walk without any mask on my terrace of my independent house

As long as there is no human within 6 feet distance, you can walk anywhere without a mask. ✌ Aerosols will get diluted in the air. (Viral load in aerosols is not enough to cause infection)

You can walk without mask. Once you return back wash & sanitizer your hands and legs. Wear mask when family gathers together.
