[Thread] 🇮🇳 #India Prevention
#Covid19 is mostly caught by breathing infected air, not from hands
😷 Wear well-fitting masks everywhere indoors
🍽 Eat & drink outside & at a distance
🪟💨 ventilate rooms/vehicles, keep airflow moving at all times, open doors & windows 1/
🌀turn off or limit use of air-con units that recirculate cool, dry air
💦 avoid low humidity in air-con rooms (showers & cooking add moisture)
🛏 avoid shared bedrooms, partly open windows & doors for night airflow
🚙 🚌 open windows, turn fans to full fresh air & mask 2/
Why is air-conditioning higher risk for #Covid19?
🥶 virus survives longer in cool, dry air
🐪 nose mucus dries out & people are less protected
💨 less fresh air is brought in (to save energy)
📦 rooms/cars are sealed, & so virus is trapped & builds up like invisible smoke 3/
🌳 Breath outdoor air & at a distance from others where possible
🏠 🚎 Avoid shared air, limit time in shared spaces, wear well-fitting mask inside
😷 😷 Double mask (cloth mask on surgical mask) where possible for filter & fit. Use respirator N95/FFP masks if available /4
⚙️ Buy or DIY portable filtration fans (HEPA/MERV13) to remove virus & pollution from indoor air
📟 Use CO2 (carbon dioxide) monitors to measure & prevent unsafe indoor air conditions (avoid CO2 above 800ppm, &/or low humidity) 5/
