In light of the pandemic, the issue of indoor ventilation has become more important to everyone. Especially since WHO has said that the odds of catching Covid-19 indoors are much higher and better ventilation is important to help curb the spread of the virus. Sim speaks to Datin Seri Ar Dr Norwina Nawawi, a senior academic fellow from IIUM on the Property Show to discuss the importance of ventilation, how to get it right and what kind of guidelines the government can set.
