In the opinion piece, Dr. Mustafa Hirji noting because the virus is airborne, he is advocating for increased ventilation in buildings.
He says where ventilation can’t be improved, high-efficiency filters can remove viruses as air recirculates, and ultraviolet devices can inactivate viruses.
He also suggests a washout period in the winter months when the virus is more active particularly after holiday celebrations.
For example, he says we might work a couple of weeks from home so the infection can be contained.
Dr. Hirji concludes “Our task now must be to begin adapting for the long term, so we can continue protecting health while moving past the disruption of this pandemic."
He is also calling on more leadership from both the federal and provincial governments.
