Myth. Air purifiers are effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Fact. Air purifiers are not effective at capturing respiratory droplets (the main transmission source of COVID-19) unless a person is standing next to the air inlet of the purifier when sneezing or coughing. Due to this, air purifiers are not recommended in offices and households as means to prevent transmission.
