As students are expected to go back to
school later this month and study through the summer to catch up with what they
missed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest questions is whether
air conditioning is safe to use.
正當（南韓）學生可望於本月稍晚開學，並為了趕上他們因「2019冠狀病毒疾病」全球大流行的而缺課整個暑假上課之際，最大問題之一是使用空調設備是否安全。
On Thursday, the Ministry of Education
released a guideline to keep all windows at least one-third open at all times
while running air conditioning.
週四，南韓教育部發布一項指引，即使用空調時，要全部窗戶都開啟至少3分之1。
"At the moment, experts view using
air conditioning is okay as long as the room is ventilated frequently,"
Jung Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Yet she added, "A Chinese research team raised a possibility
of the device contributing to droplet transmission. That needs more research
and experimentation to be verified."
南韓疾病管理本部本部長鄭銀敬說，「目前，專家認為開空調是可以的，只要房間常保通風」。但她補充說，「中國一支研究團隊曾提出空調設備導致飛沫傳染的可能性，那還需要更多研究和實驗來證明」。
