What we are trying to estimate
The propagation of COVID-19 by airborne transmission ONLY
The model is based on a standard model of airborne disease transmission, the Wells-Riley model. It is calibrated to COVID-19 per recent literature on quanta emission rate
This is NOT an epidemiological model, rather it takes input from such models for the average rate of infection for a given location and time period
This model does NOT include droplet or contact / fomite transmission, and assumes that 6 ft / 2 m social distancing is respected. Otherwise higher transmission will result
This model does NOT include transmission to the people present, when they are in locations other than the one analyzed here
The model can easily be adapted to other situations, such as offices, shops etc.
