Why Improved Building Ventilation Systems Can Slow Down Pandemics During Heat Waves

“Why can improved ventilation systems slow down pandemics during heat waves?”

Pandemics can spread faster during heat waves since more people head indoors and breathe in air that may be infected by someone carrying a pathogen. But if ventilation systems are improved, then the particles carrying the pathogen can be isolated, keeping the rest of the population safe. This is Why Improved Building Ventilation Systems Can Slow Down Pandemics During Heat Waves.
