English term or phrase: the droplets tend to fall out of the air
Examples of pathogens spread in this manner are influenza virus, rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Because these agents primarily are transmitted directly and because the droplets tend to fall out of the air quickly, measures to control air flow in a health-care facility (e.g., use of negative pressure rooms) generally are not indicated for preventing the spread of diseases caused by these agents. Strategies to control the spread of these diseases are outlined in another guideline.

  -> thank you, Horst - Happy Holidays :-)

agree  Annett Dr. Behn-Krappa: Unterstützend: Tröpfchen haben einen Durchmesser von mehr als 5 µm, sinken rascher ab und werden somit nur bis zu einer Distanz von gut einem Meter übertragen. Siehe Wiki-Tröpfcheninfektion
