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 methodology, mathematical equations and parameters of the model are published here in the CARA paper: Modelling airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 using CARA: risk assessment for enclosed spaces.

Note that the short-range component of the model has not yet been published.

+

The short-range component of the model was adapted from Wei 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. diff --git a/cara/apps/templates/base/index.html.j2 b/cara/apps/templates/base/index.html.j2 index 69a6511c..11be5401 100644 --- a/cara/apps/templates/base/index.html.j2 +++ b/cara/apps/templates/base/index.html.j2 @@ -59,7 +59,14 @@
