| Covid-19 transmission occurred through the air in a crowded and poorly ventilated space |
Coronavirus spreads through the air as aerosol
The letter, led by internationally recognised air quality and health expert Lidia Morawska from the Queensland University of Technology, makes an appeal for public health organisations like the WHO to address the "overwhelming" research on the dangers of microdroplets.
- An air filtration unit can remove microdroplets from air.
- Fitting the air filtration unit with an anti-viral mechanism, such as an ultraviolet lamp may enhance its ability to remove coronavirus contamination.
- A sensor capable of detecting coronavirus particles installed in the air intake of an air filtration unit would allow it to serve like a "smoke detector" - warning people of the need to evacuate a contaminated room.

for monitoring such airborne pathogens, similar to smoke detectors" https://t.co/K9KUFROLsH #COVID19 #innovation
"A team of researchers from Empa, ETH Zurich and Zurich University Hospital has succeeded in developing a novel sensor for detecting the new coronavirus. In future, it could be used to measure the concentration of the virus in the environment..." https://t.co/XE7fSWucS4 #COVID19
