Conclusion
VIRUS
Larger breath-guards significantly reduced the droplets spread, with the addition of face-masks very few droplets spread from the patient. Use of face-masks and breath-guards play an important role in reducing the viral load spread between the clinician and the patient. Smaller guards may not be as effective. It would be useful to test the model on patient volunteers and to assess the effect of aerosols and ventilation on respiratory virus transmission, within eye clinics.
