6. In a balikbayan ...pi (celebration, painom, tsibugan) two died in a village, and 18 others were infected. Hence the liquor ban
This post emphasizes the 3Cs as factor in spread of infection: closed spaces, close personal contact, and crowds.
In a construction site, there is crowding, prolonged contact among workers and they constantly
shout. The shouting causes the micro droplets to float and infect each other
In a church, people are in close contact, there is a crowd, and people sing pray and talk. These
activities emit microdroplets which float in the air. and give each one a minimum infection dose
Turbulent gas clouds and respiratory disease transmission
