Written Question
Infectious Diseases: Disease Control
Tuesday 19th April 2022

Asked by: Clive Efford (Labour - Eltham and Chislehurst)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

What discussions he has had with relevant stakeholders on the effectiveness of passive technology in reducing the transmission of airborne microbes in enclosed spaces.

Answered by Maggie Throup

Through the UK Health Security Agency we have worked with academic experts and businesses, to explore the most suitable air cleaning technologies to be used in enclosed spaces and further commissioned research projects, studying their effectiveness at reducing transmission rates of airborne microbes, including those for COVID-19.

As part of managing these important studies officials continue to have discussions across government and with relevant stakeholders for which we will publish results in due course.
