There are some SIMPLE steps we can take to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our homes!
Take home messages from the article:
- Aerosol” (sometimes referred to as “airborne”) transmission is similar to droplet transmission, except that the bits of fluid are so small that they can linger in the air for minutes to hours.
- The diameter of a human hair is about 80 microns, and aerosols smaller than about 50 microns can float in the air long enough to be inhaled.
- SARS-CoV-2 is only 0.1 microns in diameter, so there is room for plenty of viruses in aerosols. Researchers are thinking that the spread of the coronavirus is more aerosolized than first thought!
- Air filtration and indoor air quality are Super IMPORTANT in keeping you and your family healthy in your home!
- Keeping your HVAC system serviced/running well and using the right air filter is IMPORTANT in limiting the spread of COVID-19 in your home!
