Hi everyone
Our weather has got really hot and it's almost impossible to work from home. I have a portable air conditioner but I don't know if it's safe to use during the coronavirus pandemic. I've emailed the govt for guidelines, but don't know if I'll get an answer, so thought I'd ask here.
The air con would obviously cause air flow in my property, so of course I'm concerned for me. Then it would vent out of a window that overlooks a fairly busy street. The people passing below my window are at least 3 metres down. No one is ever aware of it when they walk past, so it doesn't disturb anyone on the street, you can't feel it, or the heat, etc......it disperses long before it gets even halfway down. But that's the temperature and feel of it. I don't know about viruses. I have no symptoms, but that's no guarantee.
I will only use it if I get plenty of evidence that it's safe for both others and for myself. I was happy to just not use it and wait, but it's only set to get hotter and the sole reason I purchased it is because it's impossible to remain in my apartment or get any work done in the heat. But I will put up with that unless it's safe.
Thanks.
