How Fresh Air Fights Infections such as Flu and Coronaviris You might think that going outside in the cold makes you more likely to ‘catch a cold’. But in fact, colds, the flu and COVID-19 spread much more easily inside. Let us explain … How are infections such as Flu and Coroanvirus spread? Both flu (and the common cold) and Coronaviruses such as COVID-19 are caused by viruses, which are spread through exposure to respiratory secretions (i.e. an infected person’s sneezes or coughs). The virus can be spread through the air, personal contact (such as a handshake), or by touching contaminated objects. How long do these viruses remain infectious?
As you can see, these can hang around indoors for up to 72 hours – and people can shed huge numbers of cold / flu viruses into the air which can in turn settle onto surfaces:
Nature’s outdoors remedy - Hydroxyls However, outside, you’re much less likely to catch these viruses. That’s because Hydroxyl Radicals, which occur naturally and abundantly in the air outside, kill all human pathogens on contact, including cold and flu viruses. Hydroxyl Radicals are commonly known as ‘Nature’s Detergent’, and we think they are pretty amazing! Only Airora's technology creates the same remedy indoors, in both the air and on surfaces.

Thanks for sharing actually you are right but the virus isn’t the only thing that’s changed since we wrote about risk assessment last fall. As you point out, many of us, including you and your friends, are now fully vaccinated. Study after study has demonstrated vaccine effectiveness, even against viral variants like Delta, and activities with other fully vaccinated individuals carry very little personal risk.
