It is possible that droplets discharged from infected individuals in places like New York City could shrink in size quickly and remain airborne for considerable period of time. A simple understanding of the mechanics of droplet size, dispersion and displacement could help infection control and public health measures to minimize spread and mitigate the risk of people getting infected especially in hotspots like hospital environments or other closed spaces.
