> air is recirculated

That shouldn't actually matter. As far as we know, coronavirus is not airborne. From the WHO:

> According to the currently available evidence, transmission through smaller droplet nuclei (airborne transmission) that propagate through air at distances longer than 1 meter is limited to aerosol generating procedures during clinical care of COVID-19 patients.

> as the droplets are too heavy to be airborne, they land on objects and surfaces surrounding the person.
