Is Covid airBorne ?
I heard that now covid-19 is airborne disease.
So I just want to share something that in the morning like for half an hour me and my family go to downstairs in the park area just to take some sunlight and there were no human in the society park at that time. Meanwhile we used to wear double mask whole time when we were downstairs. So is this type of protection is safe for us or not ?
And we used to change our clothes when we come upstairs and sanitize all the things which we carries .
Please suggest

Hence it is said that covid can spread through air.

Continue maintaining the same precautions.
