Just over a year ago, the first COVID-19 infection was detected in the Netherlands. What have scientists learnt since then about the transmission of viruses via droplets and aerosols? In this webinar, seven experts discuss the successes, failures and the future of scientific research relating to the spread of airborne infectious diseases.
