COVID-19 & Beyond: Safe Indoor Environment Program

What we are studying:

How to reduce airborne- and surface-based transmission of respiratory viruses and examining employee well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why it matters:

Since March 2020, COVID-19 has infected >500 million individuals and led to >6 million deaths worldwide. Evaluating advanced technologies and strategies that limit air- and surface-based disease spread, as well as investigating the health and well-being of workforce sectors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, is critical now - during the pandemic - and for future seasonal disease outbreaks (such as influenza).

Timeline:

• Planning of Six Studies: Apr. 2020 – Mar. 2021

• Studies in Progress: Start of Jun. 2020 – Start of Feb. 2022
