Airflow
The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads on the breath of people who are infected. When you're outside, the natural airflow makes it less likely the virus a person breathes out will infect you.
When you're inside, or in a vehicle, keeping fresh air moving into the space lowers the amount of germs in the air.
Opening windows can help, along with using fans to pull outside air into rooms. If you're in spaces where you can't open windows or if your outside air quality is bad, using an air purifier may be an option.
