Dr Hilary Jones has explained new , groundbreaking research that has provided further insight into how coronavirus spreads .
Speaking on Good Morning Britain , he revealed the new study shows just how important it is to wear a face covering to stop the spread of COVID-19 .
Speaking to hosts Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins , Hilary explained that wearing a face covering was even more important than social distancing and being outside , with his claims backed up by the astounding figures .
`` The whole coronavirus situation is evolving so fast all the time , '' he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new research carried out by the Edinburgh School Of Engineering has shown that if somebody is coughing or talking , and wearing a mask , there is 10,000 times less droplet transmission to two metres away .
`` It 's actually better to be half a metre away from that person wearing a mask than two metres away if they 're not wearing a mask , '' he explained .
`` It adds to the research that masks are important , whatever quality of the mask , that they do some good , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ metres away , you might be reducing your risk , but the risk is still there . ''
Hilary also said the virus was almost exclusively being spread by people in their 20s , 30s and 40s , whereas older people were taking far fewer risks and so transmitting the virus less .
`` Whilst we are increasing an increase in transmission rates again , we are seeing less admissions to hospital and less mortality , which is good news , '' said Hilary .
But the doctor expressed concern at home-testing kits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ airports in Istanbul , as he believes they are not rigorous enough .
`` Now , just looking at those pictures , what really concerns me is the technique being used there , it 's really difficult to do a good COVID-19 test through a screen .
`` When you have a test done , anyone who has had one done will know it is quite uncomfortable .
`` That swab has to go a long way up either side of the nose , it will bring tears to your eyes .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't doing that properly .
`` If you do n't do the technique properly , you will not get a positive result , and if you do n't get a result on someone who is positive , then the whole thing is flawed . ''

Asked about the order Proham said "it's difficult", adding: "I don't think it's fair that I have been fined when you see parties like this happening all the time.
"But obviously it was my house and I do take responsibility for that."
Speaking after a court hearing on Tuesday Ms Proham said she had only invited 20 of her friends to the gathering, and claimed to be annoyed when hundreds of people turned up.
Inspector Jim Adams of GMP’s City of Manchester district, said: "Throughout Covid-19, GMP has been engaging with people in Gorton and I would like to thank the majority for being compliant with the restrictions.
"However, this incident was completely unacceptable and incomprehensible so I am pleased that the court has accepted our application to extend the 48-hour closure notice to ensure that there are no further illegal large gatherings at this property.
"I understand that this is a frustrating time – many of us want to see our loved ones but we need to continue complying.
"Enforcement is a last resort for GMP but today’s closure order is a warning that officers will take action if/ when necessary."

Influencer who loves ballet hits back at trolls that say she's 'too big to dance'
In the age of social media influencers, more and more of us are sharing a look into our lives and homes on the interent.
We post photos and videos of our outfits, date nights and bedroom decor choices online for the world to see.
But unfortunately there's one major downside to being this open with strangers - the trolls.
It seems everyone feels like it's acceptable to say whatever they want about anyone and anything these days, no matter how hurtful their words may be.
This is something body-positive influencer Chloe Elliott knows all about.
The 29-year-old has more than 82,000 followers on her Instagram, Chloe in Curve, where she encourages self-love.
However along with all the support her page receives, Chloe is also regularly inundated with cruel messages from trolls - who feel entitled comment on her appearance.
Recently the influencer has been sharing her love of ballet dancing on social media, but people have even criticised her for this hobby, telling her that she is "too big to dance".
Speaking to Cosmopolitan, she explained how these comments have impacted her.
"I was told that I was too big to dance, that I would never be able to go en pointe, that I wasn’t graceful enough. There were comments telling me I didn’t deserve to dance because of my body," she said.
"I even received death threats, all because I am a plus size woman who dared to show herself trying something new."

Chloe became inspired to prove the haters wrong, sharing a screenshot of the comment alongside an image of herself en pointe.
She captioned the post on Twitter, simply writing: "Next?"
The tweet went viral, garnering over 59,000 retweets and thousands of likes and comments.
One person replied: "I danced for 30 years and taught ballet for 18 years - as someone with far from the perfect ballet body, I can say that it’s about passion, desire, motivation, musicality, grace, and so much more, but absolutely not size. Please keep dancing!"
Another wrote: "Yesssss get in absolute queen."
A third proclaimed: "Don’t listen to the people’s opinions. You do you sis! Your body type doesn’t mean anything to what you wanna do in your life! Keep living life to the fullest."
Following the amazing response to the tweet, Chloe said: "There was a lot of love and support in the thread. I realised that if it even boosted the confidence of ONE person to go out there and try to do something that society told them they wouldn’t be able to do - then it was all worth it."

Speaking to True @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he explains : `` We worked with our own lawyers to check everything , and there are stories that did n't make the cut .
`` There may be a few things in the book you may notice , are a bit foggy . ''
Giving an example , he references the story of Archie 's first nanny - who the couple were forced to sack on her second night for `` unprofessional '' and `` irresponsible '' behaviour .
In the book , the authors write : `` They decided to hire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ schedule and be an extra pair of helping hands .
`` But their time with the couple brief .
`` Meghan and Harry were forced to let the nurse go in the middle of her second night for being unprofessional and irresponsible . ''

`` Really we ca n't say more than that , but it was originally part of the book . ''
However the book does detail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second nanny .
While their second employee did a `` fine job '' , the first `` incident '' had left them both nervous .
The book states : `` Neither found themselves comfortable sleeping through the night without going to check on Archie regularly . ''
