Classrooms evacuated as school installs CO2 alarms to warn of coronavirus buildup

Coronavirus, England, Europe, Science, Transmission, UK

Pupils have twice been evacuated from classrooms at a New Forest, England, school after air monitors indicated the potential for a build-up of coronavirus.

Instruments have been installed at Ashley Junior School in all teaching spaces to measure the density of carbon dioxide being breathed out in a room by pupils and staff.

Once it hits a certain scale, a warning alerts teachers that fresh air is required as the atmosphere has become too stale and may contain unsafe amounts of coronavirus from potentially infected people.
