What is CAiMIRA?


+CAiMIRA stands for CERN Airborne Model for Indoor Risk Assessment and was initially developed as CARA - COVID Airborne Risk Assessment - in the spring of 2020 to better understand and quantify the risk of long-range airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in workplaces. +Since then, the model has evolved and now is capable of simulating the short-range component. CAiMIRA comes with different applications that allow more or less flexibility in the input parameters: The mathematical and physical model simulate the airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in a finite volume, assuming a homogenous mixture and a two-stage exhaled jet model, and estimates the risk of COVID-19 airborne transmission therein. The results DO NOT include other known modes of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Hence, the output from this model is only valid when the other recommended public health & safety instructions are observed, such as good hand hygiene and other barrier measures.

The short-range component of the model was adapted from Jia et al. (2022) Exposure and respiratory infection risk via the short-range airborne route .

The model used is based on scientific publications relating to airborne transmission of infectious diseases, virology, epidemiology and aerosol science. It can be used to compare the effectiveness of different airborne-related risk mitigation measures. @@ -34,8 +34,8 @@ The methodology of the model is divided into five parts:
