“It would be better to say goodbye by bringing hand on heart rather than touching each other i elbows one with the other. “The confirmation of the last recommendation to contain the contagion from Coronavirus directly from the World Health Organization. The WHO Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, in fact, he retweeted a message shared by the economist Diana Ortega according to which, as we always read in the tweet, with the greeting with the elbow “the safety distance of at least one meter is not maintained and the virus can be transmitted through the skin. I like to put a hand on my heart to greet people these days “.
Therefore, after i kisses he Hugs goodbye also to the elbows, at least for the moment, to prevent the transmission of the infection starting to rise again, as is already happening in many countries around the world. In truth, it is not the first time that WHO has launched such advice. Already at March Ghebreyesus had made the same warning and now brings attention to the careless elbow salute at a time when infections all over the world reach record numbers, just in the last 24 hours the absolute one was marked on a daily basis with 307,930 cases, and some, especially the younger ones, are loosening attention to compliance with the rules of social distancing. According to the Johns Hopkins University report, the total share of infections in the world has exceeded the threshold of 29 million, while there are 924,463 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. Add to this the alarm also raised by the WHO this morning, through the director for Europe Hans Kluge, in Europe, an increase in the daily death toll in October and November is to be expected, so care must be taken.
