CO2 levels and SARS-CoV-2 transmission in public schools: A retrospective cohort study in Montreal (Canada) by Olivier Séguin, Dorra Ghorbal, Gabrielle Denault, Karine Trudeau, Patrick Poulin, Catherine Dea, Stéphane Perron

“…Scientific evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted primarily through close contact with susceptible individuals and that the risk of transmission increases during prolonged exposure in confined, inadequately ventilated and densely occupied spaces. In response to concerns related to inadequate ventilation for students and staff, CO2 concentrations were measured in all of Montreal’s public elementary and high schools during winter of 2020–21. …”
