What if schools could prevent sick days, teacher shortages and lost IQ points? A new COVID safety course lights the way. Thanks @Hayley_Gleeson @abcnews for reporting on this important topic. 1/.

What are we doing, people? . Cat shelters now have better protections against airborne illnesses than most schools do. 🫠.
Australian classrooms have worse air quality protections than many pet shelters and greenhouses. 🙏🏻 @CroakeyNews.

As always, solid advice from @CrabbBrendan 👇.
Quite a bit of media atm about the new COVID variant NB.1.8.1. The chance of you encountering this virus is very high. This is a thread about two key mitigations to protect yourself & your family; vaccination & ventilation. 1/.

We're in the 6th year of the pandemic. People are still getting infected in part because of misinformation. They're being told to avoid people who are coughing / sneezing, but often no mention of asymptomatic spread, long-range transmission or need for ventilation. Do better.

There are even free courses for schools to make sure they understand how covid, flu and other viruses spread.

Virus-containing aerosol particles are produced all the time when an infectious person breathes and talks, NOT just when they cough or sneeze. They can be produced by people who are asymptomatic.

It's been known since 2020 that many viruses, incl covid, spread via infectious respiratory particles of a range of sizes. Large droplets (eg. from coughing, sneezing) fall to the ground, but small particles hang in the air and can travel long distances.
COVID is still in our community & can spread easily, especially during gatherings. Because #COVIDIsAirborne, improving ventilation is important. Good ventilation & meeting up outdoors reduce the risk of spreading COVID. Learn more: More tips below 1/2🧵

Oh come on @samjnichols @abcnews. When you're reporting on important health topics, you need to get the basic facts right. The person you quote on droplet spread of covid and flu etc is dead wrong. 🧵
