As the Northern hemisphere heads into winter and people spend more time indoors, the risk of transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases will increase. The WHO states that COVID-19 is primarily spread through airborne droplets expelled when people who have the virus cough, sneeze, and talk. Enclosed spaces can therefore become hotbeds for transmission. Recent research from the University of Colorado reveals that effective ventilation is one of the most effective ways to reduce viral t...
