This is the recent information related to Covid-19 made public in the columns of the very serious British newspaper ” Telegraph». Indeed, according to experts from Royal Academy of Engineering, le air conditionerr phad promote the spread of viral particles if a person is infected with Covid-19.
When we finally thought of turning the page on the pandemic to Coronavirus, Several data show that a second wave of contamination may be in progress. Among the factors that could favor the spread of this virus, on note of course no–respect for barrier gestures and insufficient screening equipment, particularly for poor countries. According to a study, un new mode of contamination must be taken into account.
These are contamination by air conditioning. Indeed, according to Dr. Shaun Fitzgerald, a member of the Royal Academy of Engineering, air conditioners known as the unit type ” divided ”, Allow postilions to spread more quickly in a closed room. So the Covid-19 positive patient who is there is likely to infect everyone around.
Besides, Dr.. Julian Tang, consultant virologist at Leicester Royal Infirmary added that ” if you are sitting under an air conditioning unit, this could create a situation where you could spread the virus “, He specified. Before adding, stating that ” the hot air will pass through the coils and the air conditioning unit will not filter any virus or fungus and it can be used to disseminate any infected plume “, did he declare.
For the time being, a proposal to mitigate the risk of contagion has been proposed by Dr. Shaun Fitzgerald. ” The recommended strategy now, if you have one of these units divided, is to open the window and sacrifice your desire for a cool or cool environment. If there is minimal wind, it will move the air. If you cannot open a window, turn off the device “, He concluded. For information, on Thursday July 9, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a new scientific file which recognized the aerial transmission of the Covid-19.
