Chinese scientists have just developed a mechanism to detect COVID-19 in the air, international media reports on Wednesday.
The new technology has been tested at the Winter Olympics, currently taking place in Beijing, as part of measures to contain the spread of the virus during this sporting event.
Many health restrictions have been adopted during the Winter Olympics, including the disinfection, and PCR tests carried out among participants, prompting scientists to think about an innovative way to test through the air, indicated Liu Peng, a researcher at the School of medicine from Tsinghua University, and a member of the research team that developed the new system.
The new technology enables receiving alerts once the virus is detected somewhere.
“This Chinese system will likely be used in hospitals, train stations, and airports in the near future,” added the researcher.
The system was tested at five sites during the Winter Olympics as well as the Beijing 2022 Press Center.
