The UCLH Safe Air Study

Shortly after the start of the pandemic, researchers from WEISS and Mechanical Engineering joined forces to start the UCL COvid aNd FacE maSkS (CONFESS) study, which aimed to establish whether wearing facemasks would help prevent droplet spread during singing, chanting and humming. This has now developed into the Safe Air study which is investigating how we can make rooms (such as hospital consulting rooms) safer for patients and healthcare staff.
