Should I avoid handshaking to prevent the new Corona virus?
Yes. Respiratory viruses are transmitted by shaking hands and in contact with the eyes, nose and mouth.
You can greet others by hand-waveing, gesture, or bowing.
How do I greet others without infection with the new virus?
To prevent Covid-19 disease, it is safe to avoid physical contact when greeting.
Safe ways of greeting include hand-waving, nodding, or bowing.
The new Corona virus (Covid-19) cannot be transmitted through goods manufactured in China or any other country that reports cases of Covid-19 disease.
Although the new virus can survive on the surfaces for a few hours or even several days (depending on the type of surface), it is unlikely that the virus will remain on a surface after its transmission and has changed its location and exposure to different conditions and temperatures.
If you think the surface is contaminated, clean it with a disinfectant. After touching it, clean your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol cleanser or washing them with soap and water.
Is wearing rubber gloves in public places effective in preventing infection with the new SK virus?
No. Keeping hand washing offers more protection from Covid-19 disease than wearing rubber gloves.
Rubber gloves may be contaminated with the new virus if they come in contact with contaminated surfaces.
If you then touch your face, the virus will pass from the gloves to your face and you will become infected.
Does smoking affect the new Corona virus (Covid-19)?
Smoking does not prevent Covid-19 disease. In fact, it leads to death. More than 8 million people die each year from tobacco use. People with underlying medical conditions that can be exacerbated by smoking, such as heart disease, are more likely to develop severe Covid-19 disease.
What kind of disinfectant can I use to wipe surfaces to prevent Covid-19 disease?
If the surfaces are dirty, first wipe them with regular or detergent household soap and rinse with water. Then use a regular household antiseptic, such as bleach – the active substance (sodium hypochlorite) in the bleacher eliminates germs, fungi and viruses. Be sure to protect your hands when using the bleacher (by wearing rubber gloves, for example). Reduce the bleach with water, according to the instructions on the package.
What should I do if hand sanitizer runs out of stores?
Do not worry. Wash your hands with regular soap and water, as it is effective in preventing Covid-19 disease.
Make sure to wash between the fingers, the back of the hands, and around the nails.
Can the new Corona virus (Covid-19) live in a hot and humid climate?
Yes, the new virus has already spread in countries with a hot and humid climate, and in other countries with a cold and dry climate.
Precautions must be followed wherever you live and whatever the climate. Keep washing your hands, covering your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing with a tissue or bending the elbow, dispose of the tissue in the trash, and wash your hands immediately.
Is Covid-19 disease spread by human excrement?
The virus is present in human excreta, just like other corona viruses. However, it is mainly spread through close contact with an infected person, or through droplets flying from him when coughing or sneezing.
To protect yourself, wash your hands frequently, especially before preparing or when eating food, after coughing or sneezing, before and after using the toilet, and after changing diapers for children.
Do alcoholic drinks protect against Corona Virus-2019 (Covid-19) disease?
No, drinking alcohol does not prevent Covid-19 infection.
Reduce your risk of infection by persistently washing your hands with soap and water or rubbing them with an alcohol cleanser, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing by bending the elbow or a tissue, then immediately disposing of it and washing your hands, and avoiding close contact with anyone suffering from fever and coughing.
Does drinking water relieve sore throat? Does it protect against infection with Coronavirus-2019 (Covid-19)?
It is important to drink water to maintain the level of moisture in the body which maintains general health, but drinking water does not prevent infection with Covid-19 disease.
If you have a fever, cough, and trouble breathing, hurry to seek medical attention, and tell your health care provider about your previous travel. If possible, contact your health care provider before going to be prepared for your visit.
Who is most vulnerable to infection with the new coronavirus, the elderly or the 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.
Do UV sterilization lamps eliminate Coronavirus-2019 (Covid-19) disease?
UV lamps should not be used to sanitize hands or any other parts of the skin, as these rays can cause allergic reactions to the skin.
Are hand dryers effective in eliminating Coronavirus-2019 (Covid-19) disease?
No, hand dryers are not effective in eliminating Covid-19 disease.
To protect yourself from this new virus, you should always clean your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol cleanser or washing them with soap and water. After cleaning your hands, they should be thoroughly dried with paper tissues or hot air dryers.
Does spraying the body with alcohol or chlorine help eliminate Corona Virus 2019 virus (Covid-19)?
No, spraying the body with alcohol or chlorine will not eliminate viruses that have already entered your body. Rather, it will be harmful to clothing or mucous membranes (i.e. eyes and mouth). However, alcohol and chlorine may be useful in disinfecting surfaces, but they should be used according to appropriate recommendations.
Are antibiotics effective in preventing and treating the emerging corona virus?
No, antibiotics do not destroy viruses, they only kill germs.
Corona Virus-2019 is a virus, so antibiotics should not be used to prevent or treat it.
However, if you are admitted to hospital due to the emerging SK-2019 virus, you may be given antibiotics for the possibility of an accompanying bacterial infection.
Can fumes and gases from fireworks and crackers prevent an emerging coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?
It is dangerous to inhale smoke and gases emitted from fireworks and firecrackers, and it does not kill the emerging corona virus – 2019.
And fumes from it contain sulfur dioxide, a medium-toxic gas, and some people are allergic to it. It may lead to inflammation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, and may cause an asthma attack.
Approaching fireworks runs the risk of burns and inhalation of fumes.
Does eating garlic help prevent infection with the emerging virus SK?
Garlic is a healthy food, and it 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 taking oseltamivir help cure the emerging coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?
There is still no evidence to confirm that oseltamivir is helping to cure the emerging corona virus – 2019.
WHO, in cooperation with researchers and doctors around the world, is actively seeking to investigate possible treatments for the virus. This includes research into whether existing antivirals have an effect on the virus. However, the work is still at an early stage, and no recommendations have been issued.
Does regular rinsing of the nose with a saline solution help prevent infection with the emerging coronavirus?
No. There is no evidence that regular washing of the nose with a saline solution prevents infection with the emerging coronavirus.
However, there is limited evidence that regular washing of the nose with a saline solution helps cure colds more quickly. However, regular rinsing of the nose has not been shown to prevent respiratory diseases.
How effective are thermal scanners in detecting people with the emerging coronavirus (nCoV-2019)?
Thermal scanners are effective in detecting people with a fever (i.e., those with a fever higher than normal body temperature) as a result of infection with the emerging SK-2019 virus.
However, she could not detect the people with the infection, and they did not yet show symptoms of fever. The reason for this is that the infection takes 2 to 10 days for symptoms of the disease and fever to appear on the affected person.
Do anti-pneumonia vaccines protect against the emerging corona virus?
No. Anti-pneumonia vaccines, such as the pneumococcal vaccine and Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine, do not provide protection against the emerging coronavirus.
This virus is completely new and different, and needs its own vaccine. Researchers are working to develop a new vaccine for the new Coronavirus-2019 vaccine, and WHO is supporting these efforts.
Although these vaccines are ineffective against the emerging SK-2019 virus, it is highly recommended that you obtain a vaccination against respiratory diseases to protect your healt
