What you can not do

• Do not set the window in the microventilation mode. In this case, cold air will enter the room slowly but constantly, which can lead to hypothermia.
• Do not ventilate the room for too long. If you open the window for an hour or more, the temperature in the room can drop so much that you risk catching a cold.

What to do

• Ventilate the room two or three times a day for 10-15 minutes. This is enough time for fresh air to replace the old air, but not to cause hypothermia.
• If there is a sick person in the room, ventilate it more often. In this case, the frequency of ventilation can be increased to four times a day, and the duration - up to 5-7 minutes.
