Ten things that can reduce the risk of catching an airborne pathogen:
1
An ffp2/n95 mask worn properly
2
Ventilation
3
HEPA air filtration
4
Far UVC
5
Reduced mixing
6
Reduced meeting duration
7
Reduced meeting size
8
Meeting outdoors
9
People with infections staying home
10
Rapid testing before meeting
11
Avoiding crowded indoor spaces
12
CO₂ monitoring to spot poor ventilation
13
Spacing people out
14
Quiet environments (less shouting, fewer aerosols)
15
Hybrid or remote participation options
16
High vaccination uptake
17
Regular symptom checks
18
Better building standards for airflow
19
Masking during travel
20
Reducing CO₂ levels to minimise pathogen halflife
21
Opening windows before people arrive
22
Avoiding recirculated air on transport
23
Scheduling breaks for air refresh
24
Using portable HEPA units in smaller rooms
25
Staggered arrival and departure times
