The authorities said that "we have to use air conditioners from time to time while ventilating through the windows."

Jung Eun-gyeong, head of the Central Defense Countermeasures Office, said at a regular briefing held at the Osong Disease Control Headquarters in Chungbuk on the 6th.

Although the possibility that air conditioner could spread Corona 19 was raised, Chung said that much research and experiments have not been conducted.

He said that Corona 19 is believed to be infected by the spread of droplets, and that there have been issues such as studies that air bubbles may spread further due to the reflux of air-conditioner winds in China.

"Currently, even with air conditioners, it is possible to use the air conditioner through the window at any time," said Jeong.

In addition, "A study in China analyzed an example of a restaurant, and it was reported that the restaurant was also turned on, but there was no window, so it was reported that ventilation was not enough," he said. I emphasized.

"The experts are also suggesting ways to turn on the air conditioner while opening the window and ventilating it," said Chung.

Concerning the concern that corona 19 can spread if the filter is contaminated even when using an air purifier, Jung said, "I have an opinion that it would be better to limit the use of air purifiers, but I will tell you more."
