The vast majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs indoors, most of it from the inhalation of airborne particles that contain the coronavirus.
The best way to prevent the virus from spreading in a home or business would be to simply keep infected people away.
But this is hard to do when an estimated 40% of cases are asymptomatic and asymptomatic people can still spread the coronavirus to others.
Masks do a decent job of keeping the virus from spreading into the environment, but if an infected person is inside a building, inevitably some virus will escape into the air.
