This NYE article mentions effective Indoor Air Quality measures to be followed as WHO warns against airborne transmission of coronavirus.
Earlier the preventive measures for fighting against the novel COVID-19, commonly known as Coronavirus, was majorly focused on avoiding large infection carrying droplets (>5-10 μm) when an infected person sneezes or coughs, while ensuring the surrounding surfaces and objects are disinfected. However as airborne transmission of coronavirus has become a widely debated topic among various medical researchers and experts, more light has been shed on the possibility of airborne COVID-19 transmission.
Scientists now believe that are scientific evidences that suggest airborne transmission of coronavirus is possible. The transmission can happen in the form of tiny microscopic droplets (
Seeing the rising risk of airborne COVID-19, indoor air quality in buildings has become crucial. ASHRAE has released a thorough guidance on how to improve indoor air quality thus reducing the risk of infections. The guidance is mainly focused on:
