Date Time New study on airborne transmission of Covid-19 helping to kick-start large-scale events A new study involving the University of Nottingham will investigate how we can safely use and ventilate non-residential buildings like concert stadiums after lockdown to minimise the risk of airborne transmission of Covid-19 and other viruses. The government-funded AIRBODS (Airborne Infection Reduction through Building Operation and Design for SARS-CoV-2) project will help get large-scale events back up and running, with trials currently taking place at several ‘test’ venues including the O2 arena and Wembley Stadium. Data collected from a nightclub event in Liverpool and the Crucible’s Snooker World Championship is already being analysed.
