Stay Healthy Naturally
—Indoors
Did you know that dry air and low humidity are an ideal breeding ground for COVID?
According to a study published in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, for every 1 percent decrease in relative humidity, COVID-19 cases can increase by 7 percent to 8 percent. A 10 percent drop in relative humidity could double COVID-19 infections.
According to Hartford Healthcare, an increase in humidity makes infectious particles both bigger and heavier, causing them to drop from the air and land on hard surfaces.
The BEALL MANSION's extensive collection of indoor plants oxygenate the air—and along with the hot water boiler radiator system during the winter months—add much needed humidity.
Doctor's orders. Come, experience lush surroundings while supporting your immune system naturally.
