Can coronavirus penetrate the skin: 5 important questions about 2019-nCoV

About the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV, truthful information is spread, as well as a lot of myths and conjectures. Recently, there have been rumors on the Web that this virus can be infected through the skin. Is it true or not, correspondents understood "Voices of America".

What percentage of the world's population can get COVID-19

Shortly after it became known that the 2019-nCoV coronavirus outbreak would not be limited to China, researchers began to develop models for the spread of infection across the planet. At the moment, most specialists are inclined to believe that from 2019 to 50% of the world's population will be infected with the new 70-nCoV coronavirus.

In this case, the percentage of infection and mortality in specific countries will depend on the severity and duration of quarantine measures taken by local authorities, the functionality of health systems, as well as the possibility of developing drugs and vaccines for the new 2019-nCoV coronavirus.

How to wash your hands properly and how often

At the height of the epidemic, doctors recommend that you wash your hands whenever you touch objects that are commonly considered to be bacteria or virus stores. Among them are a computer keyboard, mobile phone, wallets, various remotes, door handles and so on. A virus is a protein molecule coated with a protective lipid layer that penetrates the human body through the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose or mouth. The virus itself is very fragile, which is why any detergent with copious foam is a great way to destroy it. Foam dissolves fat and the protein molecule is immediately destroyed. Washing hands with soap is recommended for at least 20 seconds.

What means other than soap are effective in preventing infection 2019-nCoV

Heat dissolves fat leading to the death of viruses, which is why it is recommended to use warm water when washing hands and washing clothes. Fat dissolves alcohol, but it should be at least 65%. The 2019-nCoV coronavirus protein will die as a result of applying a mixture of bleach and water in a proportion of 1/5. Viruses decompose when exposed to ultraviolet rays, so exposure to the sun helps in prevention.

Can the virus 2019-nCoV penetrate the human body through the skin

No, it cannot; healthy skin is a powerful barrier against viruses. However, in the midst of an epidemic, doctors recommend not only washing their hands regularly, but also moisturizing them with creams, as the virus can accumulate in microcracks, the amount of which can increase many-fold as a result of frequent washing of hands with soap. In addition, it is also recommended to cut nails more often, since viruses in high concentrations can hide under them.

Is it true that 2019-nCoV coronavirus lives longer in a beard than on a clean-shaven face

Rather yes than no. There were no concrete studies on this subject, however, given the fact that viruses survive better in hair and on rough surfaces protected from the sun, it can be safely assumed that beards are a better habitat than shaved faces. That is why, at the time of the epidemic, experts recommend thinking about changing the image. Even if with a beard more people like you.
