When using an air conditioner in an indoor space, it is often necessary to ventilate by opening windows.


The quarantine authorities are on alert after a series of corona 19 viruses were detected in air conditioners in corona 19 mass infection facilities in Gwangju. Concerns about air propagation are growing.

The Gwangju Metropolitan Government said on the 17th, 

"The Gwangju Institute of Health and Environment examined environmental samples at mobile phone stores in Ochi-dong, Buk-gu, where many confirmed cases occurred, and found the corona 19 virus."

The quarantine authorities believe the virus may have moved to the system air conditioner on the ceiling through air circulation. The sample was taken at the air intake area of the air conditioner.

The quarantine authorities said that windows should be opened at least twice a day and air outside and circulatory ventilation must be done during cooling. 

The virus has also been found in environmental samples at other facilities in Gwangju, where corona 19 was mass-produced.

The virus was also confirmed at the handle of the office on the 10th floor of the Geumyang officetel, where many of the confirmed patients had a meeting, and at the door handle of the Agapecilver Center, where the cohort was quarantined.

Environmental specimen analysis is an epidemiologic study taking into account the possibility of the occurrence of corona 19 transmission in a common space within a specific facility. Specimens are collected and analyzed in the environment of the facility where there is a possibility of transmission of viruses, such as air conditioners and door handles.

A city official said, “In multiple facilities that frequently use air conditioners, indoor air must be ventilated frequently, and masks and hand washing must be followed.”
