Singing at certain levels is no more likely to spread the coronavirus than talking, according to a study released by researchers in the United Kingdom.
Researchers at the University of Bristol examined how much aerosols and droplets were generated by 25 singers who performed breathing, coughing, singing, and speaking exercises.
The researchers found that while the aerosol mass produced rose steeply with an increase in volume of singing or speaking, singing did not produce substantially more aerosol than speaking at a similar volume.
