Covid-19 knows the virus that spreads in the air

Many myths and rumors are being exposed daily due to the increasing infection of Corona virus. But at such a time it is very important to know what is right and what is wrong. Let's know some such myths and their reality-

Myth: Corona virus can spread by mosquito bites

Reality: No evidence has yet been found that the corona virus can be spread by mosquito bites. It is a virus affecting the respiratory system, which reaches another person when an infected person coughs or sneezes. In such a situation, it is important to maintain social distance or social distance, especially avoid contact with a person who has a cough.

Myth: Hand dryers are capable of killing viruses.

Fact: It is just an illusion, there is no truth in it. The new Kovid-19 will have no effect on temperature. After cleaning hands thoroughly, wipe them with a clean towel and dry them thoroughly with hand dryers.

Myth: Viruses can always survive on a metal surface.

Reality: This virus can survive for 8 to 10 hours on the surface of metals present inside places like home, office and car. But in normal condition it can remain alive for only 3 to 4 hours. Some experts believe that increasing the temperature of the outside environment may reduce the likelihood of the virus spreading. But there is currently no scientific evidence to confirm this.

Myth: Covid 19 is an airborne infection.

Reality: It is not a truly airborne infection. When the infected person coughs or sneezes, very small drops come out of his mouth. These droplets can reach a distance of one meter, which, when in contact with a person, carries this deadly virus to them. When you are close to an infected person, then these small drops are more likely to stick to your face. These droplets can stick to any surface and thus the virus survives on the surface for a few hours.

Myth: Using a sanitizer is as good as washing your hands with soap.

Reality: When you are traveling or in a similar situation where there is no availability of soap and water, using a sanitizer is beneficial. However, prioritize using soap and water for hand washing. A sanitizer is a chemical that kills viruses, but after use this chemical remains on our palms. So if you have used a sanitizer anywhere, then wash your hands with soap when you get a chance or reach home.

Myth: Drinking alcohol helps in the prevention of Kovid infection.

Reality: According to the World Health Organization, this assumption is not correct. Drinking alcohol neither kills this deadly virus nor does it help in prevention. Drinking alcohol weakens the immune system, so avoid it.
