In order to reduce the concentration of dangerous viral particles in the air during the period of influenza and SARS, you should often ventilate the premises. This was told on January 22 by Tatyana Romanenko, a general practitioner.
“We reduce the concentration of viral particles in the room when we ventilate it. These particles are inevitably in the air wherever there are people: after all, someone can be a carrier of the infection. Therefore, it is important to ventilate in order to reduce the concentration of viruses, ”Romanenko said in an interview with Sputnik radio.
According to her, this recommendation is still relevant now, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The therapist clarified that the premises are a comfortable habitat for viruses during the operation of heating devices due to a decrease in humidity.
“If the mucous membranes dry out, then they protect us worse from the penetration of microorganisms. We ventilate the premises to improve the condition of the mucous membranes, which are the first barrier to viruses,” added Romanenko.
At the same time, you need to ventilate every hour or every two hours for 10-15 minutes. If this is not possible, then “it is necessary to ventilate the premises before the start of the working day and during lunch breaks.”
In December, Aleksey Khukhrev, a general practitioner, Candidate of Medical Sciences, spoke about an increased risk of contracting coronavirus with rare ventilation. He clarified that excess dust in the room dries the mucous membranes of the body.
