China has new coronavirus outbreaks in different parts of the country, is a clear indication of how for the next 12 months (or even more than that). The quarantine conditions we found ourselves in will continue to stay with us for the foreseeable future.

Antibiotics kill bacteria, which are single-celled organisms. Viruses aren't bacteria; they're nucleic acid wrapped in protein & can infect bacteria.

Coronavirus lingers in air longer than previously thought, Finland scientists claim

1. Researchers modelled the airborne movement of aerosol particles smaller than 20 micrometres.

2. For a dry cough, which is a typical symptom of COVID-19, the particle size is typically less than 15 micrometres.

3. Extremely small particles of this size do not sink on the floor, but instead, move along in the air currents or remain floating in the same place.

Research in Finland have learned that corona virus can stay on metal surface or in air even if the person who coughs has gone.
This information proves that the virus has characteristics of airborne disease.

For the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, we have reason to expect that like other betacoronaviruses, it may transmit somewhat more efficiently in winter than summer, though we don’t know the mechanism(s) responsible.

COVID-19 spreads through 'droplets' via the air and infects the person through the nose, eyes, mouth, and well, hands which touch your face. So to avoid getting it, one needs to protect these sources of entry is critical.

From WHO's most recent press briefing: A total lockdown cannot stop the spread of COVID 19. It is meant to be used to buy time while we get sufficient infrastructure ready and develop more lasting solutions. If we do nothing after 2 weeks/1 month, the curve will steepen.
