Once activated, the sensor will need 7 days worth of data in order to generate in a graph.
Understanding risk rating
It should be clearly stated that the virus risk indicator is not a virus presence detector. It does not claim that viruses are present in a given space. It is only a rating of 1-10 on the likelihood that sickness would be transmitted under the given conditions.
The virus risk rating will fluctuate based on the levels of CO2, humidity, and temperature over time. These are the parameters to check if there is a consistently elevated virus risk.
