Just like coughing, sneezing, talking and singing, playing wind instruments — particularly brass ones — can spread respiratory particles that may carry the virus that causes Covid-19, according to a study from Colorado State University (CSU).
About:
Brass instruments, on average, produced 191 per cent more aerosols than woodwinds, the release said.
Being male was associated with a 70 per cent increase in emissions from instrument-playing, probably due to lung size and capacity, the researchers think.
Louder playing of brass instruments was associated with higher particle counts, but louder playing of woodwinds didn’t increase emissions.
