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. @@ -57,7 +57,7 @@ https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2022.109166 ### COVID Calculator -A risk assessment tool which simulates the long-range airborne spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus for space managers. +A risk assessment tool which simulates the airborne spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus for space managers. ### CARA Expert App diff --git a/cara/apps/templates/about.html.j2 b/cara/apps/templates/about.html.j2 index 5b0c0858..7832ec2d 100644 --- a/cara/apps/templates/about.html.j2 +++ b/cara/apps/templates/about.html.j2 @@ -11,7 +11,8 @@ Out of the main modes of viral transmission, the airborne route of SARS-CoV-2 se For information on the Airborne Transmission of SARS-CoV-2, feel free to check out the special issue on the Interface Focus journal from Royal Society publishing: Interface Focus: Volume 12, Issue 2 and an CERN HSE Seminar: https://cds.cern.ch/record/2743403.


What is CARA?


-CARA stands for COVID Airborne Risk Assessment and was developed in the spring of 2020 to better understand and quantify the risk of long-range airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in workplaces. CARA comes with different applications that allow more or less flexibility in the input parameters: +CARA stands for COVID Airborne Risk Assessment and was developed 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 involved and now is capable of simulating the short-range component.
