It would be better if the employees kept their masks on and take breaks every once in a while. Isn't that what the employees in our grocery stores and other public indoor buildings have to do?
Indoor air brings up the problem and the need for there to be a high turnover of air in commercial indoor buildings. I am curious whether The Villages rec centers have made modifications to increase turnover. For example, hospitals turn the air over at a rate of 12 times per hour. Normal buildings turn the air over ONE time per hour.
