1-Please consider all risk mitigating factors including risk of airborne transmission of virus at UK educational institutions as opening them is fraught with danger of virus outbreaks👇

2-Evidence regarding airborne transmission keeps increasing every day👇
I hope UK authorities will follow the science&start talking about importance of 'ventilation' more soon

3- It is very likely that SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus) like its predecessor SARS CoV-1 may spread through airborne route👇

4- Super spreader events easy to explain with aerosol transmission harder with droplet transmission (which requires prolonged close contact)👇

5-Risk mitigation against COVID 19 spread in addition to
#socialdistancing
#facecoverings
#handhygiene
must include
#roomventilation
Ventilation as a risk mitigation will become increasingly important as indoor activities⬆️in winter
@kamleshkhunti @petermbenglish @andrewleedr
6- UK authorities have remained behind the curve in following science during this pandemic
-delayed adequate HCWs PPE
-delayed lockdown
-delayed widespread testing
-delayed face coverings
-delayed track&trace
Please now follow science & pay attention to airborne spread ......
7- Airborne transmission route of COVID-19 maybe the main route of transmission in close encounters as well 👇
This should be taken into account when forming guidance for #socialdistancing & PPE for frontline workers
@PHE_uk @ADPHUK @TheBAMEGP @blacksurgeons @blmdh1 @BWDDPH
7-Failure to acknowledge the importance of airborne transmission will result in avoidable local outbreaks
When epidemic is over & retrospective data demonstrates the importance of airborne transmission it will be too late
