Researchers at Eindhoven and Delft call for more ventilation in fight against corona
In an article published today in Science, an international group of 39 scientists calls for more ventilation in the fight against corona. Their plea goes beyond the current pandemic, to prevent the spread of all respiratory infections with adjustments in building design. Marcel Loomans of TU Eindhoven and Philomena Bluyssen of TU Delft are two of the authors.
There is strong evidence that the coronavirus also spreads through small airborne droplets (aerosols), the authors state. The consequence: much more attention must be paid to ventilation in combating corona in indoor spaces.
