I own/run a company that we clean HVAC systems in offices and you would not believe what we find in the air ducts... By now all of my guys swear to never work in an office! (especially on older buildings).
Anyway, a poorly maintained HVAC system can absolutely carry airborne particles that can include COVID-19 virus. Here's an article from the CDC if you have any doubts:

My advise to all of you who work in a building: Ask the landlord to show you hard evidence the HVAC system (not just the motors or grills) have been cleaned by a company with a NADCA accreditation. If they can't or they won't then work from home, seriously. |
I've been aware of this for years. It isn't a real problem until it is. As
Oracle says, building maintenance is too often deferred. And the first cleaning starts when the contractors leave.
