Suara.com – Face-to-face Learning or PTM already started in a small number of schools. One of the things to watch out for is air ventilation. Classrooms with poor ventilation can make the virus spread very quickly.
That’s why classroom classrooms require good ventilation and air quality measurements as a preventative measure.
This fact was revealed by the world’s leading air quality researcher and author of The Lancet Report on Airborne Transmission of SARS CoV-2 and the report Exhaled CO2 as a Covid-19 Infection Risk Proxy, Professor Jose-Luis Jimenez.
“Various studies show the important role of layered risk mitigation, otherwise known as the Swiss Cheese Model, in significantly reducing the risk of Covid-19 transmission in schools around the world,” explained Prof. Jose in an online discussion, Saturday (25/9). /2021).

Indoor air quality management includes measuring CO2 levels, air ventilation, and air filtration which are key components in reducing the risk of transmission.
“Thus increasing the safety of our children attending school face to face in the midst of the new normal period,” said Prof. Jose.
The strategy to ensure good air quality in the classroom, in addition to good air ventilation, can also be combined with individual prevention efforts such as wearing masks and washing hands.
Even so, said Prof. Jose, Regardless of whether there is a Covid-19 pandemic or not, the sustainability of a safe school ecosystem must be implemented, considering that clean air will have a major long-term effect on a person’s quality of life after the pandemic ends.
