The Implications of Room Design on COVID-19 Transmission
November 16, 2020The goal of these FAQs is to provide information to the general public in an efficient manner about how to prevent aerosol transmission of COVID-19, with the hope that this will allow more informed decision making by individuals or organizations.
Who has written these FAQs?
Scientists and engineers with many years of collective research experience related to indoor air quality, aerosol science, aerosol disease transmission, and engineered control systems for aerosols.
These contributors are active researchers investigating aerosol transmission of COVID-19 (see e.g. 1, 2, 3, and 4).
Five were speakers at the recent Workshop on Airborne Transmission of COVID-19, organized by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the highest level scientific organization in the US).
Three are members of a COVID-19 World Health Organization expert group.
