Coronavirus: A-level exams – Air humidification reduces the risk of infection

 The dates for this year’s A-level exams are under scrutiny nationwide. In North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, the decision has been taken to postpone the examinations for the almost 90,000 students by three weeks to May 12. Even the greatest optimists are unlikely to believe that the corona virus could be defeated by then. But the aim will be to reduce the risk of infection during the written and oral examination phases. And professional air humidification is demonstrably one of the best ways of doing this.

Based on scientific studies, we know that maintaining a relative indoor humidity of 40 to 60% helps to limit the spread and survivability of SARS-CoV-2 within buildings. This is because at a humidity level of up to 23%, about three-quarters of coughing up virus particles are still infectious after an hour. But at a humidity level of about 43 percent, the proportion of infectious particles shrinks to only about one fifth because the absorbed water content makes them heavier and they sink to the ground faster. So the more humid the air, the worse off the viruses are! In fact, research has shown that an air humidity of over 40% inactivates coughing up flu, cold or corona viruses within minutes.
