Passive Sensing Could Help Reduce the Spread of COVID-19
Scientists have established a new method for detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in air filters placed on public buses. The findings, published on the medRxiv* preprint server, highlight the potential use of air filters in the fight against COVID-19. In a preprint study, researchers have revealed that passive sensors on public transport could help track and reduce COVID-19 cases.
