Module 15 – Addressing COVID-19 in Buildings, is a response to the important need to support understanding and endeavours to reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2. While the purpose of this guide is to assist building owners, managers and operators with measures in preparation for building re-occupancy and to minimize disease transmission as Canadians return to workplaces and educational facilities, the information will be of broader interest. As knowledge about evidence-based intervention and mitigation strategies to reduce the risk of virus transmission are evolving rapidly, the CCIAQ plans updates to this document.
“The purpose of this guide is to assist building owners, managers and operators, maintenance
workers, educational authorities, employers, occupants and visitors with measures in preparation
for building re-occupancy and to minimize disease transmission as Canadians return to workplaces
and educational facilities. Written in the context of rapidly advancing knowledge, this module
relies on scientific literature (including some in pre-print) and authoritative sources from
governments, professional groups, and health organizations. Precautionary approaches to
uncertainties regarding the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 are highlighted.”
This document is part of a series of modules forming the CCIAQ Guide for Indoor Air Quality.
