In 2020, health crisis caused by the COVID-19 forced a massive population lockdown. During this period, virtual world storm everyone's reality, children attended telematic classes, adults worked from home and social relationships became reduced to a video call. Now, in 2021, even we are still in the middle of the pandemic, the presence in schools, workplaces and recreational areas has been resumed. However, the sensitivity of the situation requires that the return is made with the appropriate measures to prevent transmission: the mandatory use of face masks, the installation of hydroalcholic gel dispensers, or the control of the corporal temperature are some of them, but it seems insufficient the attention paid to the air quality in enclosed spaces since a good ventilation is as valuable as the previous measures or even more. Throughout this paper, a number of good practices for the ventilation management in enclosed spaces will be explained.
