A Look at DESE's Cited Sources: Footnote #83 - How can airborne transmission of COVID-19 indoors be minimised?

DESE Claim: "Consider ways to increase facility ventilation (e.g., open windows through fall, perform an HVAC inspection)"

Cited Source: Morawska, Lidia, et al. "How can airborne transmission of COVID-19 indoors be minimised?." Environment International (2020): 105832.

Note: no link provided in DESE report citation, I found the article here using Google.

Peer Reviewed?: yes

Study Methodology: unclear

Notes: There may be risk of airborne transmission. "Ventilation airborne protection measures which already exist can be easily enhanced at a relatively low cost to reduce the number of infections and consequently to save lives." This paper gives recommendations of different ways to increase ventilation.

Supports DESE Claim?: Yes
