Webinar (in EN)
The world is desperately looking for a means of how to halt the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this webinar, three aspects of the spread are addressed by world-leading experts on the subject: the ejection and outcome of virus-laden droplets and aerosol from coughing and speaking, how to protect the population from infection by these droplets and aerosol, and what this means for the spread, based on epidemic models. The good news is that there is a rational clear strategy.
