How does the risk of coronavirus increase from central AC?

Doctor of  Felix Hospital. K. Gupta said the central AC could easily spread the coronavirus from one room to another. Therefore, it is not advisable to use central air conditioning at health care centers and other places where more people gather. In addition, low temperatures allow the virus to grow. The virus is said to spread rapidly between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius. That’s why it’s best to stay away from AC in the summer.

According to doctors, temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius can interfere with the growth of the virus. So the heat is expected to reduce the anger of this deadly virus as the temperature rises.
