研究发现,经常对机场表面进行消毒,将诺罗病毒感染减少83.2%。 Frequent disinfection of airport surfaces cuts norovirus infections by 83.2%, study finds.

北京理工大学的一项研究发现,每两个小时对机场表面进行消毒可以减少83.2%的诺罗病毒感染。 A study from Beijing University of Technology found that disinfecting airport surfaces every two hours can reduce norovirus infections by 83.2%. 没有干预,51 494名旅行者中约有4.6人受到感染,机场餐馆的风险最高。 Without interventions, about 4.6 out of 51,494 travelers get infected, with airport restaurants presenting the highest risk. 洗手和戴面具效果较差,分别将感染风险降低2%和48%。 Handwashing and mask-wearing were less effective, reducing infection risk by 2% and 48%, respectively. 使用抗微生物铜涂层可以将风险降低15.9%至99.2%。 Using antimicrobial copper coatings could lower the risk by 15.9% to 99.2%. 该研究发表在《PLOS计算生物学》中,为机场的感染控制提供了见解。 The research, published in PLOS Computational Biology, offers insights for infection control in airports.
