Dr. Frans asserted, the use of a fan is not a problem as long as you don't use it in a totally closed room. At least there is a vent or open window to keep providing oxygen to the room.

"So, someone uses a fan in a closed room where oxygen access is limited, it is not the fault of the fan. The fan will function as an air cooler, making the wind flow so that oxygen stays in and there is still an exchange of air circulation in the room" he explained, Monday, January 11th 2019.

If the room is completely closed without ventilation or air circulation, there is no circulation of oxygen that can enter the room. Using a fan or not, someone in a closed room without access to oxygen can be fatal.

In addition, it should be noted also not to use a fan without turning or directing it directly to your body, as well as routinely cleaning the propeller parts, because it can cause long-term health problems if left dirty.
