a.Up to 20 feet
b.Through a building's ventilation system
c.About 3 to 6 feet
d.They do not travel through the air at all
Giải thích
Large respiratory droplets generally travel about 3 to 6 feet before falling, so droplet precautions require a surgical mask when within this distance of the patient. Examples include influenza and pertussis. Unlike airborne particles, droplets do not remain suspended in the air over long distances.
