Abstract

Project summary The project aims first to improve knowledge on the aerosolized fraction of SARS-CoV-2 from air samples taken in different places of the Nicosia Hospital. This information will make it possible to optimally size an atmospheric detection network for SARS-CoV-2 installed in confined public spaces (e.g. supermarkets, offices) in the Nicosia agglomeration and to obtain integrated information on daily basis. possible contagious outbreaks. Goal help healthcare services identify risky clinical protocols when handling COVID-19 patients in intensive care test the concept of a long-lasting SARS COV 2 detection network using low-cost samplers and an analysis approved by PCR help the Cypriot authorities to identify the appearance of new clusters in the AIR-COVID-NETWORK aerobiological monitoring network rapidly transpose the consolidated standard operating protocol for the monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 internationally build a competitive consortium to respond to research calls for tenders on the topic of real-time detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the air
