While home and self-resort orders are starting to raise in a number of states across the country, Covid-19 is still spreading at alarming rates, demonstrating how much the new coronavirus is contagious. Even if you wear masks outside, wash your hands for 20 seconds constantly and clean your surfaces, the fact is that you could always catch the deadly virus. It's because someApparently distinct and daily behaviors Can you endanger, like ... using the bathroom?

According toBromage Erin, a teacher of biology at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, there are a lot of reasons why bath rooms areHigh risk in the age of coronavirus. "The bathrooms have a lot of high tactile surfaces, door handles, faucets, stall doors. The risk of fomite transfer in this environment can be high," bromage in a recent blog article.

But that's not everything, as it turns out,Aerosolization of faecal matter When you slide, the toilet can also spread the contagion. "We still do not know if a person frees infectious subjects in feces or just a fragmented virus, but we know thatRinse of aerosolve toilets of many droplets, "Writes bromage.

Preliminary studies have shown thatToilet Rinse aerosolizes Infectious microbes in the air And these microbes remain in the air for at least a few minutes. The first research on COVID-19 have also shown thatBathrooms on cruise ships andBathrooms in hospitals were strongly contaminated. In addition, we know thatPoorly ventilated interior areas are risky places in terms of COVID-19.

But everyone has to go to the bathroom (and flush), right? So what to do?Close the toilet seat before rinsing the toilet!This simple action does not only diminish the spread of everything that would come from the toilet bowl, but also limits much what would remain in the air for the next bathroom user.

So even if you are conscientiously distant from the grandmother or someone infected, but share a bathroom with them, you can unintentionally deploy contagion to loved ones and roommates if the toilet seat n ' is not low before rinsing. Also, do yourself and others a favor and if there is a fan in the bathroom, turn it on before leaving.
