By Larry Spilman Apr 6, 2021 A new University of Central Florida study suggests masks and good ventilation are more important than social distancing when it comes to reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the classroom. "Masks basically prevent large droplets from being ejected from your mouth," UCF mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Michael Kinzel said. "They also prevent droplets or aerosols from going directly to your neighbor." Dr. Kinzel co-authored the study. "It's not a social distancing problem in a classroom if you have a mask but social distancing is probably the first thi...

Masks, good ventilation are more important than social distancing for reducing COVID spread A new study from the University of Central Florida suggests that masks and a good ventilation system are more important than social distancing for reducing the airborne spread of COVID-19 in classrooms. The research, published recently in the journal Physics of Fluids, comes at a critical time when schools and universities are considering returning to more in-person classes in the fall. The research is important as it provides guidance on how we are understanding safety in indoor environments." Michae...

Best Life: Are you a COVID-19 super spreader? Best Life: Using mechanical engineering to identify way to reduce the spread of COVID-19 By Ivanhoe Broadcast News | February 22, 2021 at 8:54 AM CST - Updated February 22 at 5:05 PM ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire)— The COVID-19 vaccine is rolling out across the country, but medical experts say this is not the time to let our guards down. As of January, there have been over 25 million cases and 433,000 deaths in the U.S. alone. Now, scientists have uncovered some of the factors that may make one person more likely to spread the virus than a...
