Experts are still learning about coronavirus as the death toll continues climbing past 100,000. For months, public health officials have urged people to stay 6 feet apart to slow its spread through respiratory droplets. But some experts say 6 feet may not be enough and that airborne transmission of the virus should be taken seriously. In a commentary published in the journal Science, experts highlighted the importance of masks and widespread testing, pointing to places such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, where mask-wearing is universal and the virus has been controlled.

Here’s what else you need to know about COVID-19 around the U.S.:
