THEY STILL BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE
BUT THEY DO BELIEVE UNDER SOME
LIMITED CONDITIONS WITHIN AN
ENCLOSED PLACE THAT YOUR
HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
COULD SPREAD SOME AEROSOLS
ACROSS THE ACROSS THE ROOM AND
THEREBY AFFECT SOME OTHER
PEOPLE IN THE ROOM,
PARTICULARLY WHEN THE SPACE IS
EVEN TIGHTER OR WHEN YOU HAVE A
HEATING OR BREATHING PROBLEM.
PEOPLE ARE SINGING OR PEOPLE
ARE YOU KNOW, PUTTING OUT MORE
MORE POSSIBLE COVERED.
SO ALTHOUGH IT'S LIMITED AND
UNCOMMON AT THAT MAY HAPPEN, IT
STILL IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU
HAVE AN AIR CONDITIONING AND
HEATING SYSTEM THAT HAS AN
AVERAGE OF FOUR TO SIX AIR
CHANGES PER HOUR.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE BRINGING
IN MORE FRESH AIR TO TO TO
CLEAR OUT THE STALE AIR THAT
SAME SIDE THAT MAY THAT MAY
LINGER.
LINGER.
LINGER. SO BE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR
HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEMS TO MAKE SURE IT'S BEEN
ADJUSTED TO GETTING AT LEAST AN
AVERAGE OF FOUR TO SIX AIR
CHANGES PER HOUR.
ALL RIGHT.
