Ventilation and Filtration Strategies for Reducing the Spread of Common Respiratory Viruses Indoors

• Open Doors and Windows to bring in fresh outdoor air, when outdoor air quality and weather permit and its safe to do so. 
• Exhaust indoor air to the outdoors including through range hoods and bathroom and window exhaust fans.
• Filter the air with a portable air cleaner that is the right size for the space and does not produce ozone. 
• If you have a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system use a filter rated MERV 13 or as high as your system can accommodate. 
• Run fans to circulate the air indoors and to reduce the direct flow of air between individuals.
