Résumé
The theoretical model of the relationship among dose-response function parameters, quantum emission rate, and basic reproductive number for SARS-CoV-2 was constructed. Then, using this model, infection fields and pathways for SARS-CoV-2 and its variant were estimated. The parameters of the time activity, the number of contacts by the microenvironments and groups, and the COVID-19 risk from multiple pathways in near and far fields were used. Consequently, in lower transmissibility, droplet spray transmission in the near field was dominant, whereas in higher transmissibility, transmission from inhalation of smaller aerosols in the far field was dominant. Moreover, it was suggested that transmission from droplet spray, indirect contacts, and inhalation of smaller aerosols in the near field and inhalation of smaller aerosols in the far field was dominant for the wild-type strain, while transmission from inhalation of smaller aerosols in the far field were dominant for the Delta variant. © 2022 17th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, INDOOR AIR 2022.
