Chinese scientists first detected traces of the Corona virus on the doorknob, suggesting that the virus could be transmitted in a variety of ways than experts have ever known.

 

Corona virus can be transmitted through many different ways

According to Ecns.cn, scientists in southern Guangzhou province, China, today discovered traces of the Corona virus (2019-nCoV) in the door handle of a patient's home with the virus. The information was recently announced by officials of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province.

Zhang Zhou Bin (Zhang Zhou Bin), deputy director of the center, said places that easily become sources of infection include cell phones, keyboards, and water tap handles.

“According to our findings, nucleic acids of the new corona virus strain appeared on the doorknob. This shows that we definitely have to clean the house, and hand washing is extremely important, "Truong reminded.

Experts recommend that people wash their hands often, especially when they come into contact with objects that others have touched.

Zhang said there are more and more suspected Corona virus cases in Guangzhou. The Guangzhou Disease Control Center receives more than 600 biological samples per day.

"We received 660 biological samples in day 2.2, the maximum we can receive," Truong said. The Center had to ask other organizations and research laboratories to assist in analyzing the samples because of the large quantity.

Besides biological samples collected from patients with suspected virus infection. The Center also examines the living conditions of confirmed patients based on epidemiological studies. Door handles, cell phones, keypads and the patient's personal belongings will also be examined.

On February 2, Xinhua reported, Chinese experts have found the nucleic acid of this virus strain in the patient's stool and rectal specimen. These people initially had diarrhea, rather than a fever.

Experts believe that the new Corona virus can be transmitted when a healthy person is exposed to oral virus containing the virus.

How to clean and disinfect the house against corona flu

 

Clean the floor regularly

Clean floors often:  Germs can be brought in from the outside, especially when a family member comes home without changing clothes or taking a shower right away. Bacteria can even get in if friends and family come to visit your home during the holiday season. Therefore, to prevent epidemics, make sure the floor is vacuumed and cleaned regularly.

 

Clean objects that are frequently in contact

Clean frequently-contacted objects:  Door handles should be cleaned with a solution of warm water and white salt or a solution with warm water and vinegar. The acetic acid in white vinegar kills bacteria and viruses. If anyone in the house is sick, wash the doorknobs often. Also, be cautious about balconies, stair handrails, desktops, cell phones, toys, and any objects that are handled by hand.

 

Clean fabric-made household items

Clean furniture made from fabric : Sofa is where family members come into contact the most. So we need to clean the sofa regularly. Additionally, kitchen towels need to be rinsed with hot water at least once a week to eliminate bacteria growing on damp surfaces.

 

Cleaning technology equipment in the house

Cleaning technology equipment in the house:  Cell phones, computer keyboards are the shelter for viruses. We should clean all technology equipment regularly, including cell phones and computer keyboards. Please be careful not to lend technology equipment to others during this period because corona vius can be spread when used together.

 

Do not share personal belongings

Do not share personal belongings : All family members absolutely do not share towels, toothbrushes. It is necessary to wash towels and face towels twice a week. Wet towels are a shelter for the common cold virus, fluke eggs and the corona virus.

 

Open windows to allow air to circulate

Open windows to allow air circulation : When indoors, keep windows open to allow air circulation. Viruses cannot survive in a well-ventilated space. It is winter in the north, if the weather is cold, you should keep your windows open for 15-20 minutes to avoid catching a cold. In the classroom and office, there should also be a habit of opening windows for ventilation.
