How Do You Ventilate a Room for Covid?
Use fans to move virus particles in the air from inside your home to outside. Consider using a window exhaust fan if you have one. Be sure it is placed safely and securely in the window. Another option is to place a fan as close as possible to an open window or door, blowing outside.

Does ventilation help reduce the spread of COVID-19?

Bringing fresh, outdoor air into your home helps keep virus particles from accumulating inside.

• If it’s safe to do so, open doors and windows as much as you can to bring in fresh, outdoor air. While it’s better to open them wide, even having a window cracked open slightly can help.

How can I increase ventilation in my home to reduce the risk of COVID-19?

• Open windows and screened doors. Do not open windows and doors if doing so poses a safety or health risk to children or other family members (e.g., risk of falling or triggering asthma symptoms).
• Operate a whole-house fan, or an evaporative cooler, if your home has one.
