I am back.
As the number of confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases continues to increase, various recommendations on personal protective measures have emerged. In addition to common protective measures such as wearing masks and washing hands frequently, the issue of household disinfection has also received great attention.
So in a situation where virus protection is becoming more and more important, what can we do?
The most common virus killer is medical alcohol.
75% alcohol can effectively inactivate the virus. Therefore, under general disinfection requirements, such as ordinary daily necessities, medical alcohol can be used for disinfection. It is best to buy commercialized medical alcohol directly.
Note that wine cannot be used as a disinfectant, let alone a bath!
pixabayWashing hands frequently with hand sanitizer or soap, and washing hands with running water for more than 20 seconds, has a certain effect on blocking the spread of the virus, and can be used in combination with other protective measures. Hand washing methods can refer to effective prevention of pneumonia, washing hands correctly and wearing a mask.
- The main component of the disinfectant is hypochlorous acid (and hypochlorite), and its disinfection principle is strong oxidizing, which will cause many components in the microorganisms to be oxidized, and eventually lose function, unable to reproduce or infect.
All disinfectants need to be diluted before use. When diluting, pay attention to the concentration (available chlorine content).
Be sure to follow the instructions when using it, pay attention to ventilation, do not get into eyes and touch mucous membranes.
