5 reasons why you should not go to the beach this commemorative day
Off The sharks are not your biggest problem.
Many states open their beaches in time for the day of the memorial, but even with limited rules of access and social distancing, it may not be careful to return to the water. Here are 5 reasons why you may want to stay away from the shore until the COVID-19 crisis has passed.
The wind can wear the virus
"People tend to lose the wind understanding in the wind and wind - you can be 6 feet away, but with the blowing / down wind, it's still a risk," says "Shawn Nasseri, MD, an otolaryngologist in Beverly Hills, California. "People go to the beach for fresh air, but it's logical to stay up 10 to 15 feet because of that."
Parking can be a breeding ground
"Coronavirus can be airborne and live on surfaces ranging from 30 minutes to three hours," says Nasseri. "Beach car parks can be a major problem with parking people near cars and people on foot and out of the car parks."
"Even if the beach is now empty, there may be towel towels or food remnants in the sand," says Lili Barsky, MD, an urgent and urgent care provider of Los Angeles. "If someone touches or interacts without knowing it with it, it can be used as a transmission path."
Viruses can live in the ocean
"Viruses can wash land and roads in the ocean. Every time a big wave strikes the beach, it sprays the particles in the air, including potentially coronavirus," saysGreg Maguire, Ph.D., FrsM. "If you spend significant time at the beach under these conditions, a COVID-19 infection could result."
You could be around infected carriers
"Vacationers and others who go to the beach can ignore the signs they are in poor health so as not to lose money on prepaid holidays," saidLeann Poston, MD, a doctor with Invigor Medical in New York. "Even if you are not one of those people, the person sitting next to you on the beach can be."
You are not social distancing
"If we do not interact with other people, the risk of transmission of this terrible virus decreases significantly," said Khawar Siddique, MD, a neurosurgeon toDocumentin Los Angeles. "We all love the social atmosphere of the beach, but the best weapon against the transmission of the virus is if we are all isolated a little longer. Let's do our part and gain this together!"
