English term or phrase: droplet spread

Definition from Kaiser Family Foundation:
Also droplet transmission. A mode of transmission for a contagious disease that involves relatively large, short-range (less than 6 feet) respiratory droplets produced by sneezing, coughing, or talking.

Example sentence(s):

"It can be inhaled if you are very close to the patient, if you are creating aerosolization," says Balkhy. But she said past clinical experience with other severe coronaviruses, SARS and MERS, supports the idea that these viruses mainly spread via droplet transmission. NPR
While research on the effectiveness of universal mask wearing for reducing respiratory droplet transmission is still thin, there is evidence to support it. The Eagle
“If it could easily exist as an aerosol, we would be seeing much greater levels of transmission,” said epidemiologist Michael LeVasseur of Drexel University. “And we would be seeing a different pattern in who’s getting infected. With droplet spread, it’s mostly to close contacts. But if a virus easily exists as an aerosol, you could get it from people you share an elevator with.” Stat News

비말 전파

Definition from 동아사이언스:
비말전파 혹은 공기전파 여부와 상관없이 마스크 착용과 손 씻기는 여전히 가장 현실적인 개인 보호수단이다.

Example sentence(s):

비말전파는 감염원으로부터 가까운 거리에 있는 숙주의 눈이나 코 등 점막에 5 μm 이상의 크기를 가지는 비말이 직접 닿아 발생한다. - 의료관련감염관리
첫째 비말전파로, 감염자가 기침이나 재채기를 할 때 튀는 침방울 속 바이러스가 다른 사람의 눈, 코, 입 점막에 붙어 전파될 수 있다. - 신동아
메르스는 공기 전파가 아니고 비말 전파나 근접 접촉으로 인해 전염되기 때문에 동일 기종 탑승객이 모두 격리대상은 아니다. - 허핑턴포스트코리아

비말 전파는 비말이라는 것 안에 바이러스가 포함이 돼서 2m 또는 그 이상 (환자의)침이 바로 다른 상대방의 호흡기로 전파가 되는 것이다.

비말 확산

Definition from 경향신문(The Kyunghyang Shinmum) :
이번 연구가 에어컨에 의한 비말 확산 가능성을 보여주기는 했지만 에어컨 바람에 의한 바이러스 전파 위험이 얼만큼인지 명확히 밝혀진 것은 아니다.

Example sentence(s):

알토 대학교, 핀란드 기상 연구소, 핀란드 VTT 기술 연구 센터, 헬싱키 대학 합동 연구팀은 코로나19에 감염된 사람의 기침이 어떻게 실내에 확산되는지 CSC의 슈퍼컴퓨터로 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 시각화했다. - ZDNet Korea
