The Government's recommendation that all new buildings which are not dwellings will require specialist systems to help to reduce the spread of airborne diseases such as Covid-19 doesn't go far enough, according to a leading infection mitigation specialist.

Paul Waldeck, chief technical officer at PP-L, says that while the regulations have been welcomed by many, the limitations of their scope results in a piecemeal approach to dealing with the role of ventilation in the spread of viruses.
