The deadly novel coronavirus can spread through the air and can remain contagious for hours, a study has suggested. Scientists in the United States reportedly found high levels of the virus in the air in rooms long after patients had left the area.

The study, conducted by the University of Nebraska researchers, also found that traces of the novel coronavirus were also discovered in hospital corridors outside patients' rooms where staff had been coming in and out.
