Some recent studies suggest that virus may be air borne and can be spread through fine infected droplets that remain suspended in the air in closed air-conditioned environments of offices, AC Cabs-Buses, Shopping Malls and theatres due to absence of cross-ventilation, even when you are not in direct contact with an infected person.
