WASHINGTON, D.C. (NBC) – The CDC says updated guidance about the spread of coronavirus was accidentally posted on its website.
The guidance, which was posted Friday, said the virus was spread through respiratory droplets “such as those in aerosols” that are produced when an infected person breaths, talks, coughs, sneezes, or sings.
However, the agency now says that “a draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error.”
The statement goes on to say the CDC will be “updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission.”
The current guidance continues to say that the virus is thought to spread between people who are in close contact with one another. It also says it be transmitted through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
