A member asked:
I know hospitals filter air with hepa filters. will the filters in my car or office building work just as well to prevent corona?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HEPA filters: My understanding is that most cars don't come with HEPA filters - so I would not anticipate that a standard filter would protect you if someone in your car is COVID positive. Even if you have high efficiency particulate air filters in your office building it won't protect you if someone near you sneezes or coughs in your face.
