"2. Spray. Pathogens in large droplets may land directly onto external mucous membranes. Large droplets follow semi-ballistic trajectories [25] and settle to the ground within a few seconds. Usually, they do not travel >1–2 m, although a sneeze can propel them farther [26]."
"and the smaller ones can remain floating in the air for minutes to hours and can be carried long distances on local air currents. Transmission can occur at any distance and is more likely when people are in close proximity." /15
