The Unicef has said that corona virus is large in size where the cell diameter is 400-500 micro and for this reason any mask prevents its entry. The virus does not settle in the air but is grounded, so it is not transmitted by air.
According to Unicef, corona virus, when it falls on a metal surface, will live twelve hours, so washing hands with soap and water is enough.
Corona virus, when it falls on fabric remains for nine hours, so washing clothes or being exposed to the sun for two hours meets the purpose of killing it.
Unicef has stated that the virus lives on the hands for ten minutes, so putting an alcohol sterilizer in the pocket meets the purpose of prevention.
If the virus is exposed to a temperature of 26-27 °C, it will be killed, as it does not live in hot regions. Also drinking hot water and sun exposure will do the trick. One should avoid taking ice cream and any cold food. Gargle with warm and saltwater kills the tonsils’ germs and prevents them from leaking into the lungs, explains Unicef.
