Plexiglass barriers for COVID-19 'counterproductive' in most business settings, experts say

Marianne Levitsky, an industrial hygienist at the University of Toronto’s school of public health, told CTV News Channel on Thursday that experts now believe proper ventilation is key to keeping everyone safe when indoors, and some plexiglass installations can impede it.

“There’s wider recognition of the aerosol nature of COVID-19 and the recognition that we really need some very good ventilation to control that,” she said. “The problem is office spaces when you start to fragment, or at restaurants between tables,” said Dr. Peter Juni, an epidemiologist at the University of Toronto and a member of Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table. “What happens there is it can impede the air flow and it can actually be counterproductive because the most important part here is … the ventilation.”

Cool! I’m glad the found this after only 20 months!

Experimental data?

absolutely....

Haha, it takes 'experts' to put up some plexiglass... what a 'news' story!!!

'Experts'. This is the 5th you have tweeted this story in the last 12 hours. CTV 'News' still obsessed with Covid stories and FEAR MONGERING to the MAX.

Are these the same “experts” who provide the modelling data?

It's been aerosol since the beginning The 'experts' have lied to us since the beginning Masks and distancing doesn't work. It's all theater

Wow

How the heck do u determine this?

we knew that 18 months ago

Media getting paid by Trudeau to be bias towards him is counterproductive too 😳😳🙈🙈

CTVNews you don't say

🤪🤪

Where do you get these so called experts from? Not the most intelligent experts are they?

Don't watch tonight! Don't watch any night

CTVNews 1%

I end up yelling or both me and the other person end up leaning and talking around it anyway.

CTVNews Dennis Miller?

Half the time I have my head stuck through the opening underneath or beside just so I can hear the other person.

Covid is airborne. It travels over and around barriers and then stays there. Period.

Did you note the word 'might' in your tweet?

So is hand sanitizer and wiping every godamn thing !

Everyone thinks they are an expert

Funny these are same experts that advised the government to order them installed Or did we order a whole new set of experts yet again Or did they jump the gun bef But they wonder why we don’t trust them

CTVNews Pandemic theatre.

Well atleast they got desk protection.

So done with all of this

CTVNews And let's see some modeling with how plexi glass prevents good ventilation instead of talking out of your you know what

CTVNews We’re now supposed to take advice from the guy from IKEA?

The science is evolving. That is what science does. Learn and improve.

Now flip-flop on masks, then people might see the 'science' is only relevant...

CTVNews The virus is airborne, how much protection can plexiglass provide.

More flip flopping. When they take it all down, better not throw it away!

'Experts'

'Expert'

Unfortunately they are just causing people to shout and that's not helping.
