Can you wet your mask to cool off? Use air conditioning? It is not always easy, in hot weather, to continue to respect all the instructions in force to avoid the spread of Covid-19. Europe 1 recalls the actions to be followed and those to be banned.

You will have to handle your fogger with care. Thursday afternoon, Météo France placed 45 departments on orange vigilance for the heatwave, forecasting temperatures that will, in many places, exceed 40 ° C on Friday. At the same time, the coronavirus epidemic is still running and barrier actions are still required. So how do you reconcile the two? What are the right actions to adopt and those, on the contrary, to ban? Europe 1 takes stock.

Haro on the fan in collective closed space

Rule number 1 is not to get your mask wet when cooling off. If it is wet, it is no longer effective and it will therefore have to be changed. You should also be careful when turning on a fan. If we are alone, it's fine, it is as soon as there are several of us that there are problems, the circulated air can take contaminated micro-droplets with it. A fortiori, therefore, never put a fan in a closed collective space. 

And the air conditioning in all this? There is no contraindication to its use, according to the Ministry of Health, provided you have efficient filters, with the high efficiency HEPA standard. And it is better to do without it if the installation is not maintained regularly. Same thing for the CMV. You can leave it as long as it is not an air recycling program.
