Nonetheless, it is also important to understand that the absolute risk of infection is uncertain, as it will depend on the probability that someone infected attends the event. The model is most useful for comparing the impact and effectiveness of different mitigation measures such as ventilation, filtration, exposure time, physical activity and the size of the room, only considering long-range airborne transmission of COVID-19 in indoor settings.

This tool is designed to be informative, allowing the user to adapt different settings and model the relative impact on the estimated infection probabilities. The objective is to facilitate targeted decision-making and investment through comparisons, rather than a singular determination of absolute risk. While the SARS-CoV-2 virus is in circulation among the population, the notion of 'zero risk' or a 'completely safe scenario' does not exist. Each event modelled is unique and the results generated therein are only as accurate as the inputs and assumptions.

CARA is made available for internal CERN use only. It is intended for Members of Personnel with roles related to Supervision, Health & Safety or Space Management, in order to simulate the concerned workplaces on CERN sites. For use outside of this scope, please contact CERN Knowledge Transfer (kt@cern.ch).
