OPEN AIR FACTOR
At the Adventure Center of Asheville, we have always taken the utmost precautions in training and the continued maintenance of our equipment for our Guests and employees in everything we do. While we are in the middle of this COVID -19 pandemic, we are focusing on information that will allow us to continue to do that.
Amid the COVID-19 precautions, we found this helpful article that tells us what we already know but backs it up with scientific evidence- Go outside and breathe fresh air.
“Put simply, medics found that severely ill flu patients nursed outdoors recovered better than those treated indoors. A combination of fresh air and sunlight seems to have prevented deaths among patients; and infections among medical staff.[1] There is scientific support for this. Research shows that outdoor air is a natural disinfectant. Fresh air can kill the flu virus and other harmful germs. Equally, sunlight is germicidal and there is now evidence it can kill the flu virus.”
So head outside to your back porch or deck or yard. Get the kids throwing football or frisbee in between their online schoolwork. Take a “brain break” from teleconferencing or washing dishes and get some fresh air!
