Fort Collins, Colorado – A study focused on tracking the spread of COVID-19 in performing arts settings has also unveiled the population of humans who spread the most COVID-19 particles.

Goble wanted to research the correlation between the spread of COVID-19 and the performing arts.

While the study, entitled "Reducing Bioaerosol Emission and Exposures in the Performing Arts: A Scientific Roadmap for a Safe Return from COVID-19," was intended to focus on the spread of coronavirus in performing arts venues, it also unveiled a larger set of information when it comes to the virus as a whole.

"Adults tend to emit more particles than children," Volckens said.

These are particles that carry the COVID-19 virus and infect other people," Volckens said.

Volckens said indoor venues which are louder are at greatest risk for spread of COVID-19.

Loud enclosed locations like bars, sports arenas and concert venues can be susceptible to high levels of spread.

Volckens said other events, like a ballet with infrequent loud audience responses, are more safe than a concert with thousands of screaming or singing fans.

Because we know now, when you sing or talk at a loud volume, you produce more particles," Volckens said
