Question : Hi,
We live in UAE. In our community , we have centralized AC. The temperatures are touching 40 C or 104F here . Due to coronavirus we are afraid to start our ACs. Whats your recommendation. We have a 3 Bedroom Apartment and its very difficult to stay well without ACs.

Brief Answer:
Not recommended

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but centralized Ac holds concerns of spreading Coronavirus infection especially if someone is in the incubation period (infected and not showing symptoms)...

I would recommend turning on AC while opening windows, if not possible then using regular fans is recommended...

I hope you find this helpful.
