Modelling the transmission and control of airborne infectious disease in healthcare settings

Chacha M Issarow

Abstract

The transmission of airborne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis (TB) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), among healthcare workers (HCW) in healthcare settings (HCS), remains a public health concern. TB and COVID-19 transmission mostly occur in congregated and confined areas with limited ventilation per person through respiratory droplets from infectious individuals.
