1/ Coronavirus: How infected air can flow from one apartment to another

english.elpais.com/science_tech/2… via @elpaisinenglish

2/ "An epidemiological study in a building in Seoul, South Korea where there were eight Covid-19 infections in five apartments sharing bathroom ventilation, concluded that there was “no other possible contact” between those infected other than their communal air duct."

3/ Apartment buildings and people who live in them need to pay attention to this possible issue.

Solutions may include blocking or installing filters on all internal air vents, or (better) installing extractors at the top so the air is always going out and cannot flow btw apts.
