Displacement ventilation: a viable ventilation strategy for makeshift hospitals and public buildings to contain Covid-19 and other airborne diseases

2020-04-28

Abstract excerpt

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has so far infected more than 2.4 million people around the world, and its impact is being felt by all. Patients with airborne diseases such as Covid-19 should ideally be treated in negative pressure isolation rooms. However, due to the overwhelming demand for hospital beds, patients are being treated in general wards, hospital corridors, and makeshift hospitals. Adequate building ventilation...
