According to a new study, coughing downwards reduces the spread of respiratory droplets.

A new study has found that coughing towards the ground can reduce the spread of droplets and aerosols, thus potentially reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19.

With many heading indoors for the winter months and respiratory droplets acting as a major contributor to COVID-19 spread, the scientific community has renewed interest in the dynamics behind how they spread.

A team of researchers has found that cough-generated droplets can spread less if you cough downwards.
