Inside, Landon said, part of the concern is proper ventilation. Outside, there’s an unlimited amount of fresh air so the virus can’t become trapped.

In regular buildings, like restaurants or libraries, there may be fewer air exchanges. Plus, turning up the heat or AC can make it difficult for common ventilation systems to filter air. Landon said indoors, both proper distance and wearing a mask are imperative.
