Please note that this page is constantly updated according to the transposition of new medical/ scientific studies.

In response to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19 ), not only for the emergency but especially to allow the reopening of productive activities with the necessary security. AiCARR has set up a working group of experts to draft guidance documents on how to operate and use air conditioning systems to prevent and limit the risk of spreading SARS-Cov2-19.
The documents are base on the latest scientific evidence and best practices available today for the reduction of the risk of propagation by area (aerosol) of SARS-Cov2-19 through the correct use of environmental air conditioning and ventilation systems. 
Due to the ongoing evolution of information available on the characteristics of the pandemic, the documents present here will be subject to updates and additions.
Aicarr thanks the participants in the working group for their contribution to the dissemination of information useful to the safety of all of us.
