US agency claims Corona is spreading with shoes

New delhi date. 13 April 2020, Monday

To prevent the spread of corona virus infection, so far, it is advisable to wash hands and cover the mouth evenly, but in a study conducted by the US government agency, the soles of the slippers also claim to be at risk of spreading corona virus infection. For this reason, health workers facing corona have been advised to keep their slippers clean, especially.

According to a study published in the journal American Center for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers took samples of hospital land and air from the Chinese city of Wuhan. The study found corona viruses in the slippers of more than half of the health workers' deployments in the ICU.

Apart from this, there was no 100% positive rate on the ground (bottom) of the hospital where no patients went. Researchers say medical staff slippers can also be transitory carriers so that they must uniformly transition their slippers before exiting.

Ways to clean shoes

There is no specific method for cleaning slippers, but in a nurse's ticktalk video she is seen wiping the slippers in bleach all night. Apart from that, clothes or canvas shoes can be cleaned in the washing machine.

Laundry guidelines

Britain's National Health Service has issued guidelines for uniform cleaning of clothing. Accordingly, clothes should be washed at a high temperature of 140 degrees and at that time better results can be obtained using bleach. Bleach is another great way to kill viruses.

This method can also be adopted

Slippers of leather or other fabric slippers can also be wiped off with ordinary washcloth soap or handwash and water, but water can damage the skin. However, mixing 70% alcohol with water evenly and cleaning the slippers with its solution can produce good results.
