The cruise giant worked with the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the National Strategic Research Institute to allow independent scientists to examine the HVAC system onboard Oasis of the Seas, including air flow and the movement of aerosol particles inside the ship.
“Scientists found that the risk associated with transmission of airborne particles between spaces, through the HVAC system, is exceptionally low and undetectable both in the air and on surfaces,” said Royal Caribbean.
