Daily Mail: How one man spread coronavirus to NINE other people on his bus in China: Scientists find the deadly virus can travel four times the 'safe' distance and linger in the air for over 30 minutes in confined places
* Scientists studied one man in China who passed the virus to 13 people in total
* On the bus, germs jumped as far as 4.5 metres to other travellers
* It lingered in the air for up to 30 mins, after the original man had got off the bus
* People who wore masks on the bus were not infected, the study found
* Coronavirus bugs also stayed on surfaces for days, especially when it was hot
* Scientists said their findings show face masks are useful protective measures
