Several measures can be taken to reduce the risk of aerosol transmission:
- [Masking](href): Wearing masks can significantly reduce the emission of aerosols from infected individuals and protect uninfected individuals from inhaling them. - [Air Purification](href): Using air purifiers with HEPA filters can remove aerosols from indoor environments. - [Physical Distancing](href): Maintaining a safe distance from others can reduce the risk of inhaling aerosols. - [Hand Hygiene](href): While primarily effective against droplet and fomite transmission, hand hygiene is still an essential part of comprehensive infection control. - [Vaccination](href): Immunization can reduce the overall number of susceptible individuals in a population, thereby decreasing the likelihood of aerosol transmission.
