Covid-19 Transmission: Environmental Approach to Effective Control in Closed Indoor Environments

02 November 2020, Version 1
Working Paper
This content is an early or alternative research output and has not been peer-reviewed by Cambridge University Press at the time of posting.

Abstract

Closed indoor environments with prolonged contact are known to present heightened risk of Covid-19 transmission. While certain preventative measures have been proposed, they are not yet shown to be very effective. We propose a simple and potentially effective approach to mitigation of these risks in indoor environments based on possible correlation between the characteristics of the environment and the risk of transmission in the droplet and airborne channels.
