This guidance builds on the necessity to identify and act in poorly ventilated areas. It includes factors to consider as part of an assessment to provide sufficient ventilation for reducing the risk from aerosol transmission.
Areas covered in the expanded guidance include air cleaning and filtration units, and ventilation in vehicles.
- Natural ventilation which relies on passive air flow through windows, doors and air vents that can be fully or partially opened
- Mechanical ventilation using fans and ducts to bring in fresh air from outside, or
- A combination of natural and mechanical ventilation, for example where mechanical ventilation relies on natural ventilation to maximise fresh air
