The World Health Organization corrects some misconceptions and information about Corona

Weather of Arabia - The World Health Organization has published a report in which some of the misconceptions and misconceptions that are circulating around the new Corona virus are corrected. We summarize them for you in a set of points:

• Does eating garlic help prevent infection with the emerging coronavirus?

Garlic is a healthy food, and has some antimicrobial properties. However, there is no evidence from the current outbreak to show that eating garlic prevents infection with the emerging coronavirus.

• Does applying sesame oil to skin prevent the emergence of the emerging corona virus in the body?

No. Sesame oil does not eliminate the emerging corona virus. There are some chemical disinfectants that kill the novelty-2019 virus on surfaces. Disinfectants include bleach / chlorine, other solvents, ethanol at a concentration of 75%, peroxyacetic acid, and chloroform.

However, their effect on the virus is weak or non-existent if applied to the skin or just below the nose. Rather, it is dangerous to apply these chemicals to the skin.

• Fact: children's urine is not protected from the emerging coronavirus (2019-nCov)

Urine does not kill viruses or germs. In fact, urine may contain small amounts of viral or bacterial substances. Washing your hands or cleaning surfaces with urine will not protect you from the emerging coronavirus (2019-nCov). Instead, clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash them with soap and water. Clean surfaces with familiar household antiseptics.

• Fact: the emerging corona virus (2019-nCov) cannot be transmitted by mosquito bites

Corona virus is an emerging respiratory virus that is transmitted mainly as a result of contact with an infected person, specifically through respiratory droplets that it secretes during coughing or sneezing, for example, or through saliva droplets or nasal secretions. There is as yet no information or evidence to suggest that the emerging corona virus can be transmitted by mosquitoes. To protect yourself from the virus, avoid close contact with anyone with fever and cough, and adhere to the rules of hygiene of the hands and respiratory tract.

• Fact: cold and snow cannot kill the new corona virus (2019-nCov)

The normal human body temperature ranges between 36.5 and 37 ° C, regardless of external temperature or weather. Accordingly, there is no reason to believe that a cold can kill the emerging coronavirus or other diseases. Cleaning your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or washing them with soap and water is the most effective way to protect yourself from the virus.

• Reality: Cocaine does not protect against the emerging coronavirus, but can even pose a health hazard

Cocaine is an addictive stimulant, with dangerous side effects and harmful to human health.

• Fact: The risk of developing an emerging coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as a result of contact with things, including coins, banknotes, or credit cards, is very low.

Initial information indicates that the emerging corona virus (2019-nCoV) can survive on the surfaces for a few hours or more. And something can be exposed to contamination of the virus emerging from the person infected with infection in the event of coughing, sneezing or in contact with it. The risk of developing an emerging coronavirus due to contact with things, including coins, banknotes, or even credit cards, is very low if the rules of hand hygiene are properly adhered to. Cleaning your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or washing them with soap and water is the best way to protect yourself from the virus.

• Fact: Respiratory droplets reach one meter from the person who coughs or sneezes

When infected persons sneeze or sneeze, the virus is transmitted in droplets that can travel a certain distance from that person. So, in order to protect yourself from any respiratory virus, avoid close contact with anyone with fever and cough, and clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash them with soap and water.

• Fact: Corona viruses are viruses that do not spread through the air over long distances

The New Corona Virus (2019-nCoV) is a respiratory virus that is transmitted mainly by droplets secreted by an infected person during coughing or sneezing, or by droplets of saliva or nasal secretions. Because of their heavy weight, these droplets cannot be transported with air. You can also become infected from touching your eyes, mouth, or nose after coming in contact with a contaminated surface. To protect yourself, clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash them with soap and water.

• Are hand dryers (available in public toilets, for example) effective in eliminating the emerging corona virus within 30 seconds?

No, hand dryers are not effective in eliminating the emerging corona virus. To protect yourself from the new virus, you should always clean your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol disinfectant or washing them with soap and soap. After cleaning hands, they should be thoroughly dried with paper tissues or hot air dryers.

• Can N95 Series Gags be Reused? Can it be sterilized by hand sanitizer?

No, facial masks, including flat medical masks or N95 series gags, should not be reused. If you have been in contact with a person who is infected with a new coronavirus or another respiratory infection, the front of the muzzle is already contaminated. The muzzle should be removed without touching it in front and properly disposed of. After removing the muzzle, the hands should be rubbed with an alcohol disinfectant or washed with soap and water.

• Do pets spread in the home virus emerging coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?

At present, there is no evidence that accompanying / domestic animals, such as dogs or cats, may be infected with the emerging coronavirus. However, it is a good idea to wash hands with soap and water after handling pets. This helps prevent many common bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella, that are transmitted from pets to humans.

• Who is most vulnerable to infection with the new coronavirus, the elderly or very young?

People of all ages can become infected with the newborn SK-virus. It appears that the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions (such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease) are more likely to develop severe disease in the event of infection with the virus.

The World Health Organization recommends people of all ages to take steps to protect themselves from the virus, such as good hand washing and good respiratory hygiene.
