Indoor Airborne Risk Assessment in the Context of SARS-CoV-2

Indoor airborne risk assessment in the context of SARS-CoV-2 Description of airborne transmission mechanism and method to develop a new standardized model for risk assessment

We are excited to share the recent World Health Organization (WHO)’s publication on “Indoor Airborne Risk Assessment in the Context of SARS-CoV-2”, co-chaired by our Centre Director Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska from the Queensland University of Technology. This publication is a valuable resource in our fight against COVID-19.

In addition, the WHO has created an online ARIA tool to help you explore and understand the findings of this publication. ARIA is an online tool that enables users and building managers to assess the risk of SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) airborne transmission in residential, public, and healthcare settings. The aim is to inform decisions that can significantly reduce the risk of transmission. The WHO have advised that they are currently arranging an upcoming technical webinar, where they will officially launch and disseminate this publication and tool.
