(Reuters) - Hundreds of scientists say there is evidence that novel coronavirus in smaller particles in the air can infect people and are calling for the World Health Organization to revise recommendations, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

The WHO has said the coronavirus disease spreads primarily from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes or speaks.

In an open letter to the agency, which the researchers plan to publish in a scientific journal next week, 239 scientists in 32 countries outlined the evidence showing smaller particles can infect people, the NYT said nyti.ms/2VIxp67.

The WHO did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.

WNU Editor: I recall reading a few months ago how an apartment building in China that was under completely lock-down had no coronavirus cases but ended up having cases a few weeks later even though no one left the building, nor did anyone come to the building. The only source that the coronavirus could have come from was from an infected building a block away that was under complete isolation and lockdown. It was then that the Chinese made the determination that this disease had airborne capabilities. Since then more cases have come to light with similar situations. Why the WHO has been hesitant to provide more information on this is beyond me.
