#SaferAir #IndoorAirQuality #PublicHealth
Itβs one thing to say HAI will happen from time to time in the context of proper maintenance and cleaning (including air filtration) of hospitals.
Itβs quite another to underfund or neglect the maintenance, cleaning and repair of buildings, and then just put your hands up.

The image shows a part of the meeting report, the text reads: "[...] 5.3.5 Should indoor air quality standards be stricter in settings with amplification potential and vulnerable populations, such as hospitals and schools? Some indoor environments, such as hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities, and shelters, may act as settings of amplification for airborne infectious diseases. This is not because these spaces are inherently high-risk, but because they often bring together large groups of people, including vulnerable populations, in shared, enclosed spaces for extended periods of time. These characteristics increase the likelihood of exposure, transmission, and in some cases, wider outbreak propagation.[...]" Source: https://iris.who.int/items/9fb7d176-f661-4461-a018-043b8042eedc Deeplink: https://iris.who.int/bitstreams/e292798b-0720-4d85-807c-77fc1e7805a6/download

That's all there is to it.
