Researchers modelling the spread of the coronavirus emphasise the importance of avoiding busy indoor spaces
A joint project carried out by four Finnish research organisations has studied the transport and spread of coronavirus through the air. Preliminary results indicate that aerosol particles carrying the virus can remain in the air longer than was originally thought, so it is important to avoid busy public indoor spaces. This also reduces the risk of droplet infection, which remains the main path of transmission for coronavirus.
Invisible dirt detector tested out in Finnish hospital
The technique can be used in sectors ranging from healthcare to the food industry. In the future, it could also be used for detecting viruses
