That's good to know. Yes, I thought that multi-unit residential buildings use the same air handling systems found in commercial buildings, offices and schools. I work in a hospital with hundreds of patients daily, so some of us have been concerned about our HVAC system distributing the coronavirus throughout the building. Leadership has assured us that our building's air system exceeds the institution's standards in terms of filtering and exchanges of air, but when it comes to a novel virus, no one knows for sure whether established standards are good enough, especially in terms of very prolonged exposure to trace amounts of the virus.
However, Vista is both residential and commercial, so it's unclear whether it recirculates air.
