--and now the governor is out with a new mandate before that will change.

There are filters for air conditioning systems...that can filter out the covid virus.

The governor says nasa has studied these.

It's going to be mandatory for malls to have them... and recommended for all other businesses.

4:49 for many of these systems it depends on what filter you install, called the merv rating of the filter...but they have different filters that filter out different size particles and they have filters that can actually filter out and catch the covid virus 5:08 we reached out to sangertown for comment.

We are still waiting to hear back.

Collis and sons is helping us betting understand this filter.... and if it's something we may want for our homes too.

Paul collis says the higher the merv, the more filtration you get.

Merv is minimum efficiency reporting value.

Paul collis 1:52:46 the lower merv you have is the least efficient filter you have.

Typical throwaway filter like from home depot or somewhere like that between a merv one and a merv 4 - once you get up to the merv 8 to 11, they're a lot more efficient and you have merv all the way up to 16 17 18 19 20.

Anything over a merv 16 is installed in hospital clean rooms, computer rooms something you need 100 percent clean air 1:53:16 the higher the number, the higher the price.

Merv 11 is typically the minimum collis would install.
