We Need to Talk About Ventilation and COVID-19

We’ve been doing a lot of sanitising and disinfecting throughout the pandemic, be it common areas, high-touch surfaces, or even our groceries. But healthcare professionals and researchers are now calling for more attention to be paid to improving ventilation instead, in a bid to continue curbing the spread of COVID-19. To help us clear the air on this, we are joined by Dato’ Prof Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman, professor of medicine & infectious diseases at Universiti Malaya.
