With some 400 positive cases within a population of 1.3 billion, the burning question in the minds of many is whether India is under-reporting. Until a couple of days ago, there were strict, conservative criteria for COVID 19 testing.
Soap or sanitizer?
Soap and water is still the best way to clean your hands. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
How to wash with soap
Wash hands with warm or cold water. Lather soap to get it on the backs of hands, between fingers and under finger nails before rinsing off. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the time spent should be 20 seconds (or the time taken to sing the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice).
What is the right sanitizer?
If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 per cent alcohol.
How to use sanitizer
The hand sanitizer should be applied to one palm before rubbing the hands together. While rubbing, the gel should be spread all over the hands and fingers, covering all surfaces until completely dry.
Can we use anything else to disinfect?
Cleansers and wipes are effective in cleaning and disinfecting objects and surfaces that are frequently touched.
Why alcohol-based sanitisers?
Alcohol is effective at killing different types of microbes, including both viruses and bacteria. Coronavirus is the type of virus with an outer wrapping, called an envelope, which alcohol can kills.
Is Vodka ok to use as sanitizer?
Despite many DIY sites and programmes suggesting it, vodka doesn’t have enough alcohol content to effectively kill microbes.
