Driving with car windows open can reduce COVID-19 risk

Social distancing worked its way into the common vocabulary with the arrival of the highly contagious coronavirus, and with it the admonition for people to stay at least 6 feet away from others.

The virus can be spread by droplets resulting from coughing or sneezing, or by aerosols released while talking or simply breathing. Outdoors, wind can dilute the viral particles. In an enclosed vehicle they have nowhere to go.
