Featured: COVID-19 Diagnostic Tool
This online tool has been developed by the University of Nicosia Primary Care Centre.
It can determine whether you are a suspected COVID-19 case and instruct you on what to do next, or outline the next steps if you are a confirmed COVID-19 case and in self-isolation.
COVID-19 Mortality Project
C-MOR – Research consortium and platform for monitoring overall and cause-specific mortality resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Epidemiology Team at the University of Nicosia Medical School is leading an international initiative aimed at conducting a comparative study on the direct and indirect mortality burden of COVID-19 since the start of the epidemic.
Airborne Droplet Transmission Research
According to a University of Nicosia paper published in Physics of Fluids, a mild cough occurring in low wind speeds of 4-15 km/h can propel saliva droplets for up to 6m.
Airborne transmission of viruses, like COVID-19, is not well understood, but a good baseline for study is a deeper understanding of how particles travel through the air when people cough.
