The heat wave is at the doors, with the competent committee of the Ministry of Health and its representative, Sotiris Tsiodras, recommending attention to the operation of the air conditioners, due to the coronary artery.
First, the Infectious Diseases professor evaluated the rise in temperature due to the pandemic. I hear and read in environmental studies that, probably from now on, summers will be even more sensitive to the sun’s rays and even blocking, the “ban”, somehow affected the focus of the sun’s rays, which It is currently freer in the Earth’s atmosphere and will lead to increased temperatures, “noted Mr. Tsiodras.
Referring specifically to air conditioning, he described it as “very important,” “very delicate,” and “sensitive,” requiring “attention” and “some basic principles.”
Speaking about air conditioning units in structures and hospitals, he said that “it requires a lot of attention, first of all technical maintenance, to see the specifications of the systems it has and if it can work with other air conditioning mechanisms, especially in sensitive areas, like the Intensive Care Units. ” As the professor said:
- Continuous and 24-hour use of the Units is promoted, in accordance with the detailed instructions issued by the Ministry of Health and found on its website.
- Maintenance is promoted by special personnel using protective measures and an individual mask, as there may be some positive patients, “remnants” of the virus, even in air conditioning devices.
- The use of outside air, fresh air and non-recycling of air is promoted. Of course, in other places, other necessary measures must be taken. It will probably continue with other new cooling systems.
The professor added that, in any case, “Managing the virus is very delicate and solves unanswered scientific questions, which we have not studied in decades. Let’s say you were reading about simple speech and the role it can play in gene dispersal” … and referred to the instructions that the Ministry of Health has on its website.
Finally, he acknowledged the contradictions in the Commission proposals that treat passengers differently on planes and buses (flights have been instructed to have air conditioning and there should be no space between seats, and air travel should not have air conditioning). condition and there must be empty seats and open windows).
“I answered as best I can on a case-by-case basis, and let’s not let it have a scientific basis,” said Tsiodras.
