Scientists call for more focus on ventilation in stopping Covid

In an article in leading academic journal Science, they suggest that good ventilation can prevent coronavirus being spread by aerosols, or tiny droplets which hang in the air. In the Netherlands, ventilation does not yet have a major role in the official strategy to combat infection. ‘In other countries they have spotted this problem earlier and have been looking at the ventilation options much longer,’ Delft University professor Philomena Bluyssen, one of the authors, told current affairs show Nieuwsuur. ‘The RIVM is one of the few groups that has not yet clearly recognized the importance of the aerosol route,’ Bluyssen said.

Researchers at Eindhoven and Delft call for more ventilation in fight against corona

Date Time 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.
