Millions of viruses are suspended in the air or attached to surfaces and can easily be transmitted with a simple contact. Fluids from the respiratory system can be dispersed into the air as microscopic droplets when someone coughs or sneezes. Research indicates these droplets can travel across a room after a cough or sneeze and remain suspended in the air for hours. Under the right environmental conditions, viruses can survive on a surface for days.

For a safe school operation, healthy and virus-free air in the classroom is needed to avoid infections and diseases. Viruses, such as COVID-19, can spread through the air in the form of aerosols. Depending on factors including ventilation rates and particulate levels, these viruses can remain airborne for several hours. Indoor environments can experience a higher concentration of aerosols (high viral load), which can increase the risk of infection.
