Why It’s Not Time To Get Lax About COVID-19

Going mask-less around your building
While the research is still quite limited, one expert on indoor air quality reported in a tweet that the coronavirus may survive in an elevator after the infected individual has exited, and an assistant professor with Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health suggests not speaking unless absolutely necessary when inside of an elevator with others. Nobody can say for certain that you can catch COVID-19 in an elevator, but they also can’t say for certain that it’s impossible. So while it’s a pain to wear your mask just to get your mail or take out the trash, keep it on when you’re in communal spaces of your apartment building.
