Can the virus that causes COVID-19 be transmitted through the air?

There is a potential for contamination if the system is a recirculatory system so running systems on full fresh air systems is preferred and recommended.

Studies to date suggest that the virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air.

The CFP Guide to UK Building Air Quality

In part 1 of our guide to UK building air quality, we discussed the importance of assessing external quality (step 1) and setting benchmarks (step 2) as a prerequisite to achieving optimal levels of building air quality.  In part 2, we will expand on this approach outlining how businesses can shape their approach to testing (step 3), and risk management (step 4) to control the air quality within their buildings, regardless of scale and purpose.

The importance of air quality within buildings is all too commonly overlooked, but given that humans spend around 90% of their time indoors, and with the prevalence of airborne viruses such as COVID-19, a greater understanding is needed.  In our many years of operation in the UK, perhaps one of the most common misunderstandings of the effective management of building air quality is that when it comes to air filtration, one approach will work for all buildings.   This is not the case...
