"In New York, it was noted that most new cases have developed for people who had been in their forties at home and only in their apartments," saidDr. Tsippora Shainhouse, a dermatologist and a pediatrician certified by the Council in Beverly Hills, in private practiceSKINSAFE dermatology and skin care. "It was then discovered that the viral particles became aerosolized and passed through interconnected air ducts, passing germs between the apartments.
