Risken att exponeras för viruspartiklar från covid-19 ökar ju närmare en patient man befinner sig, ju mer smitta en patient bär på och om ventilationen är otillräcklig. Mätningar av virus i luften på sjukhus som gjorts av forskare vid Lunds universitet ger ny kunskap om hur man bäst anpassar vården för att minska risken för smittspridning. Förhoppningen är att de internationella riktlinjer som fin
