It sure helps legionella, influenza, and coronavirus to spread.
- netjiro 5y agoPlenty of options to fix that problem. E.g. a cheap addition to existing installations: aircode.se Limited but sane research from around 2013(?) points to even cheaper options of ventilation treatment.

Airborne contagions do not spread from bringing in outside air and tempering it via an HRV/ERV. The risks rise when you do not bring in fresh air but rather recirculate indoor air, but these can be reduced by using MERV 13+ filters: * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7127325/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7127325/
