NZ Pullman ESR Report - HQ Transmission Update - Feb 10

“...weren’t able to pick up any traces of COVID-19 in the environmental testing...it could have been droplets in the air that would have been temporary, so they would have only been there for a short period of time and people could have literally passed through the same airspace”

“In the case of the Pullman, a change that has already been implemented is to create positive air pressure within the corridor spaces by keeping the air-conditioning running 24/7”

“One of the things we’re looking at in the Pullman is particularly around lifts. Lifts are difficult because the air tends to stick around...whether or not there should be additional air filters put into the lifts, that’s a process that may take a little bit longer.”

@Raf_Epstein

1/4 @Raf_Epstein:“Why not just have an abundance of caution, if you could give everyone N95 masks, I know it’s difficult, they have to be fit-tested, I know it’s expensive, but if you can do it, why not have done that from the beginning rather than coming to that decision today?”

2/4 DCHO: “Well, bear in mind for 2 months we had no cases in staff in HQ, so this becomes another adaptation of what we’re doing to get in front of things..from where we are now...”

“The coronavirus’s genetic material has been found on all kinds of surfaces in hospitals and in the air, but, interestingly, it has only been successfully cultured from the air. No data studies that we are aware of have cultured the virus from surfaces.”

“When we look at this entire causal chain, it’s easy to see that if fomite transmission is happening, it’s minor and certainly not driving the pandemic. Meanwhile, we have plenty of examples of airborne transmission.”
