Proper ventilation necessary to reduce COVID-19 transmission, Admn

Srinagar, May 22 (UNI) Urging people to ensure proper ventilation at their homes and offices to reduce COVID-19 transmission, Srinagar District Administration (SDA) said the concentration of the virus can be reduced by ensuring that outdoor air flows in.
“ Ensure Proper Ventilation at your Homes and Offices to reduce COVID-19 Transmission”, the SDA said.
The SDA said that in un-ventilated indoor spaces, droplets and aerosol become quickly concentrated and increase the risk of transmission.
Large size droplets fall to the ground and surfaces while smaller aerosol particles are carried in the air to greater distances, the SDA said, adding that the concentration of the virus can be reduced by ensuring that outdoor air flows in.
Srinagar district recorded 598 COVID-19 positive cases on Friday despite corona curfew and other measures.
