PANDEMIC MITIGATION COLLABORATIVE

PMC COVID-19 Resources

We are in the process of updating the website, and this page will soon serve as a repository for COVID-19 informational resources.

As summarized in a leading scientific publication, called Science, SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne respiratory virus. Contrary to early pandemic awareness, the virus spreads predominently through the air, rather than via surfaces. The virus can linger in the air like smoke in poorly ventilated indoor spaces. The virus spreads when one person exhales it and another person inhales it.



A multi-layered approach remains necessary to reduce the burden of COVID-19. Each layer of mitigation is important but less than 100% effective. By using multiple layers, we can reduce the number of reinfections and their impact on individuals, families, and society. See video.
