Conditioning a Universally Friendly Quarantine Area by Applying Knowledge on Ventilation Systems
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
COVID-19 will be declared endemic in the near term. Therefore, it is important to have concrete and specific guidelines for conditioning segregated quarantine areas that are friendly to all. This article illustrates the concept of integrating knowledge from medical domain and that from ventilation systems. The article also shows a concrete approach in conditioning quarantine areas that are friendly to all, both in the case of homes and areas for activities with a large number of people.
