Experts at Mayo Clinic say that having an air purifier in your home can help protect you and your family from COVID-19. Home air purifiers and air cleaners quickly cycle clean air through their HEPA filter, so the virus does not survive floating around in the air.
Staying six feet away from others helps prevent the spread of COVID-19, but scientists have discovered that very small particles, called aerosols, can survive in the air for minutes or hours. If enough of these particles build up in a room, they can put you at risk for contracting COVID-19 if you breathe that air.
The Mayo Clinic suggested these two ways to use your home air purifier:
Place the air cleaner in the room that you spend the most time in or where vulnerable people spend the most time.
Direct the airflow of the air cleaner so it does not blow directly from one person to another.
ISO-Aire Air Purifiers offer three levels of protection against COVID-19, as well as other spores and airborne pathogens. ISO-Aire units use bipolar ionization to combat particles floating around in the air, before they even get back to the air purifier.
Social distancing, wearing a mask, and using hand sanitizer will also help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
