Schools

The latest health evidence indicates that asymptomatic and virus carriers can spread viruses in aerosols when speaking. These aerosols remain as invisible smoke in the indoor environment.

As a complementary measure to the use of masks, it is recommended to ventilate the classrooms.

This has some drawbacks: it increases the cost of heating and the likelihood of catching colds and similar illnesses from exposure to the cold.

This measure, on the other hand, does not solve the problem, but reduces the possible viral load in the middle.

An additional complementary measure, without associated costs or risks, would be the use of gestures. Every gesture the teacher or students make means fewer words are said and fewer aerosols are produced.

These gestures do not solve the problem either, but they can help reduce the possible viral load in the environment due to the presence of asymptomatic and virus-carrying people (students or teachers).

The full set of anti-virus gestures can be added later, and if additional gestures are needed they can be looked up in the YoGoTe gesture dictionary.
