Washing your hands – very effective in Coronavirus Prevention.
Coronavirus is 50-200 nanometers in size.
When a person is infected then the virus can be transmitted to others by means of tiny droplets from coughs and sneezes. The droplets may dry up but the virus remains alive and active for many days on the skin, wood fabric, steel, plastic, and metal surfaces.
The virus can attach to skin from any surface. Once it reaches the face it can find a way into the nose/mouth/eyes and then into the body where it will multiply and infect other cells.
Coronavirus Prevention requires that we don’t come in contact with the virus.
The hands are the most common site that will come in contact with the virus. Therefore, washing hands is the most important step in prevention. Washing with water alone is not enough. Soap is extremely effective and safe.
All disinfectant wipes and gels that contain alcohol are effective but soap is better.
Infected people should wear a mask but healthy people need not wear a mask unless they are caring for a sick relative.
These 2 simple measures can be very effective in prevention.
So be careful – wash your hands and let’s say “Namaste”.
