How he manages his packages

You must use care when tearing to open a box or unpack your food. "We know that the virus for a limited period can live on what is called fomites, which are inanimate objects," said Dr. Easer in the interview. "So what I do, for example, when something comes - the package, you know, I do not rub it. I just left it on the side for a few days before I open it. And even that is probably too excluded, because most of the things we are talking about, it is fundamentally a respiratory-transmitted virus. Even if there is the possibility, if not the reality, of a small part of it transmitted by things you can touch. "His advice? "I think I think how to wash your hands really so much the need to clean everything around you. [It's] the only thing you could do very easily."

The virus has been demonstrated to spread on surfaces

"The primordial and most important mode of transmission of Covid-19 transmission is closely contact from person to anyone," the agency wrote. "On the basis of the data of the laboratory studies on COVID-19 and what we know similar respiratory diseases, it may be possible that a person can obtain Covid-19 by touching a surface or an object that has the virus on This one then touch his own mouth, or possibly their eyes, but this is not considered the main means that the virus spreads. "

They then described how the virus spreads mainly. "The virus that causes Covid-19 extends very easily and sustainably between people .... in general, the more person interacts with others and the longer this interaction, the higher the risk of propagation of Covid-19 is high. It may be possible that a person can become Covid-19 by touching a surface or an object that has the virus on it and then touching his own mouth, their nose or possibly their eyes, "he added." Do not think that the virus spreads, but we learn even more about how this virus spreads. "
