What an expert says about the mask indoors

For more than a year the mask has entered our lives for good as an important measure against its spread coronavirus.

An expert emphasizes that the use mask is necessary in small interiors. The measure could be lifted in larger interiors but with caution, according to him.

Former president of the International Aerospace Society Gerhard Schiech emphasizes: “The obligation to wear a mask must first be lifted outdoors and in large rooms before being lifted in small ones. Of course, the masks are not a panacea to prevent the transmission of viruses from the air, but in small, narrow, unventilated areas the risk is greater.

Mask and elevator

Soych cited them as an example elevators. “Often there are only two to four cubic meters of air inside the elevators and if there are people inside, even less. “In this case, we could get infected until we reach the sixth floor, even if there is only one person in the elevator, because the polluted air remains trapped inside,” he warned.

“The mask is also very useful for routes we do with cab or for Driving School vehicles, as well as in public toilets. There are so many dangerous little places that it does not even occur to us that we can become infected.“, He added to the German News Agency (dpa), as relayed by the Athenian News Agency.

“Before we open retail stores, such as small souvenir shops for masked customers, the use of masks in all outdoor activities – such as parks and zoos – must be abolished. Even in large theaters and museums, outdoor swimming pools and large sports halls, the risk of contamination is not so high, because the volume of air is large.

Concentrating aerosol in these areas is almost impossible to endanger others. However, it is important to pay attention to even the detail: the locker rooms are, for example, very narrow spaces and we must make sure that they are well ventilated “, stressed Soych.
