Professor: RIVM should include aerosols in policy Inland

Bonn is affiliated with the University of Amsterdam and advises not to take an elevator, but to take the stairs if possible. “A hospital lift in which corona patients are transported, I would certainly not be standing in that.”

According to him, the health institute RIVM endorses that the risk droplets (aerosols) lead to contamination, but has not adapted the policy accordingly. “I find that strange, precisely because RIVM uses ‘Better safe than sorry’ as a starting point. Singing choirs, carnival, church services and après-ski have been a lot of infections. ”

The scientist also recommends opening windows and doors facing each other for much needed ventilation. “If the windows at your workplace can open, that is.”

RIVM was not available for comment on Sunday evening. On 27 May, an article was posted on the website in which RIVM explains why it believes that ‘it has not yet been demonstrated that aerogenic transmission plays a role in the spread of the virus’, taking into account the scientific literature, which is not yet convincing. would provide evidence.
