Can Ultraviolet Light Kill Aerosolised Coronavirus? Scientists May Finally Have an Answer

News 18  

New research adds to the growing body of evidence that ultraviolet C lighting can be a new solution to kill aerosolised Covid-19 in enclosed environments such as hospitals and long-term care facilities. Computational modelling has shown that low dose far-ultraviolet C lighting can be used to disinfect in-room air, increasing disinfection rates by 50-85 per cent compared to a room’s …

Coronavirus May Spread More Via Respiratory Droplets in Winter, Say Scientists

News 18  

While transmission of the novel coronavirus as small aerosol particles is more significant in summer, direct contact with respiratory droplets may be more pronounced in the winter months, according to a new research. ”We found that in most situations, respiratory droplets travel longer distances than the 6-foot social distance recommended by the CDC,” said Yanying Zhu, a co-author of the …

Face masks with exhale valves may hamper COVID-19 mitigation efforts: Study

India TV News  

Face masks with exhale valves and face shields may not be as effective as regular masks in restricting the spread of aerosol droplets, and could potentially hamper COVID-19 mitigation efforts, researchers, including those of Indian origin, have found. Results of the study show that although face shields block the initial forward motion of the jet, the expelled droplets move around …

Airborne Viruses May Spread on Dust, Non-respiratory Particles: Study

News 18  

Influenza viruses can spread through the air on dust, fibres and other microscopic particles, and not just expiratory droplets, according to a study published on Tuesday that has implications for the novel coronavirus transmission. "It's really shocking to most virologists and epidemiologists that airborne dust, rather than expiratory droplets, can carry influenza virus capable of infecting animals," said Professor William …

Scientists warn on flu & COVID-19: Says Influenza viruses can spread through dust, non-respiratory particles

India TV News  

Influenza viruses can spread through the air on dust, fibres and other microscopic particles, and not just expiratory droplets, according to a study published on Tuesday that has implications for the novel coronavirus transmission. Influenza virus is thought to spread by several different routes, including in droplets exhaled from the respiratory tract or on secondary objects such as door handles …

Coronavirus: Putting hamsters on plane could test transmission

Daily Mail  

Placing hamsters on an aeroplane could be one way of examining whether coronavirus can be spread through airborne transmission, an infectious disease specialist has suggested. Epidemiologist Professor David Heymann said further 'complex studies' were needed to see if people could catch Covid-19 through air circulating on planes or through restaurant air conditioning systems. A top epidemiologist said today that the …
