Can the new coronavirus be transmitted through hair?

Don't worry too much.

Based on the conclusion of the study that "SARS virus can survive for 2 to 3 days on a variety of surfaces such as plastic, glass, mosaic, metal, fabric, copy paper, etc.", we presume that the virus may also survive for 2 to 3 days on hair.

Since hair is a "non-absorbent material", it is assumed that virus droplets on hair for more than one hour will not be contagious.

However, for safety reasons, it is recommended to wear a hat when going out.

Areas susceptible to the new coronavirus

Door handles, cell phones, telephones, mouse keyboards, light switches, faucet switches, remote control buttons, toilets, etc. are all vulnerable areas that need to be focused on and may pose a potential risk of indirect transmission.

Disinfection also varies for different areas.

- Cell phones, keyboards

Use disinfectant wipes to clean your cell phone after you wash your hands at home.

- Keyboards, mice, light switches, etc.

You can use disinfectant wipes to clean your cell phone in the same way you clean your cell phone.

- Flooring

Use disinfectant solution for disinfection. Disinfectant solution can be configured according to product instructions.

When choosing a disinfectant, choose a product with the license number of "Fire and Health" on the back.

- Faucets

If you have a virus on your hands, turn off the faucet after washing your hands and you will be contaminated. You should pay attention to the cleanliness of the faucet during hand washing.

- Toilet

After using the toilet, you should cover the lid and press the flush button. Flush the toilet lid at regular intervals.

After going to the toilet and flushing the toilet, you should wash your hands in time with hand sanitizer and flowing water.
