VENTILATION

Ventilate your room frequently


Properties of the new coronavirus

It does not seem to be airborne, but it is known that fine grains called micro droplets drift in the air for several tens of minutes in conversation, etc., and it is pointed out that there is a possibility of infection by micro droplets.


Why ventilation is effective

While not airborne, the possibility of micro-splash infection has been pointed out, and indeed past clusters have occurred indoors with poor ventilation. Dusty indoor conditions can also put a strain on the throat and bronchial tubes, increasing the risk of infection. Therefore, it's a "far better to do it than not to do it" situation.



Five minutes of ventilation per hour.

Dr. Moriya, a quarantine officer with extensive corona experience, suggests ventilation "once every 1-2 hours for 5-10 minutes each time.

  • Open at least two windows instead of just opening a window to allow air to flow

  • Can be used with a ventilation fan.

  • Ventilate frequently rather than occasionally for a long time.

  • It is important to "do it as much as you can without strain".
