Suara.com – Washing your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds is a must to avoid corona virus cause of pain Covid-19.
It got even worse when the latest study was on Japan found that this new type of corona virus could last longer in skin humans from the flu virus in general.
Research This reveals that SARS CoV 2 can stay alive on human skin for nine hours. Meanwhile, the influenza A virus (IAV) strain can only live on human skin for two hours.
Fortunately, these two types of viruses can be deactivated by washing your hands with soap as clean as possible.
“This study shows that SARS CoV 2 may have a higher risk of contracting than IAV (influenza virus), the reason is because the corona virus is more stable in human skin,” the researchers said in their paper, citing Live Science written Friday (9/10/2020). ).
The study, published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases on October 3, supports the hypothesis that maintaining hand hygiene is essential to prevent the spread of SARS CoV 2, which causes Covid-19.
In addition to staying on the skin, US researchers have already studied how the coronavirus or SARS CoV 2 can survive on copper surfaces for four hours, on cardboard for up to 24 hours, and in plastic and steel last longer.
Unfortunately, finding out how long the virus stays on human skin is tricky and difficult to do.
So for this study, researchers from Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Japan utilized a model of human skin samples from corpse that has been autopsied.
Skin samples are used one day after death, so that they function the same as humans live by means of skin grafts.
