Update:
COVID-19: According to experienced managers in the NHS the following facts are: Every year 0.05 citizens of the UK die from the common flue when infected. Today (02/2020) the morality rate is 1-2% of infected individuals, however in China (ground zero) the morality rate has risen to 2.3%.
Unfortunately this means that if correctly predicted, every 2 people infected out of 100 will die due to the COVID-19 virus.
At LGS we have full approval that our long-term disinfection coating (LGS Bacoban) will significantly reduce the replication of the COVID-19 virus and therefore decelerating the spread of the infection. Once treated a surface will stop the replication of the virus significantly reducing cross contamination.
The NHS and medical professionals have given us great advice in avoiding contracting Coronavirus, to help we have highlighted several things you should do and not do if you want to help reduce further the chance of being a Covid-19 victim.
Touching a surface after an infected person gives a very high probability that you may become infected. Unfortunately many people won’t know they are infected and therefore not adopting self-quarantine. The virus as with many similar viruses will survive when an infected person touches a surface and/or sneezes and coughs when infected. Hard, non-porous surfaces tend to support the virus for longer. Glass is the worst of the bunch and transmission rates are very high.
Here is a short list of things you may not have considered:
- When you pay at a store try to go contactless. If the amount requires you to use the keypad then either use a gloved hand or use sanitiser directly afterwards.
- Never use supermarket self service tills and screens as these are one of the worst offenders for virus transmission. Bank ATM’s also fall into this category.
- Don’t let anyone else touch the screen of your phone or tablet, again the glass has a very high transfer rate.
- If you share a computer or desk with another person wipe the keys before use with a long-term disinfectant or sanitiser.
- Try to avoid touching door handles, especially in high use areas such as on public transport and in shops and offices. If you have to touch a handle sanitise immediately.
- Bars and restaurants are not to be avoided but try not to touch glass, plastic or metal surfaces that other people may have touched before you. This also includes drinking glasses and cups which unfortunately are often only cleaned by hand or in a commercial dishwasher which doesn’t always kill the virus which is especially true with Norovirus.
- If your thinking of buying a new tech item, don’t touch the phones, tablets or computers that are on display. It’s fairly unlikely that the staff in the store have had time to wipe each device after a potential customer has used and held it. If you have to pick up the device wipe it first with a sanitiser or disinfectant. However, you should check with the store if they are OK with you doing this, if not use a sanitiser after you have handled the device and never let it touch your face.
- If you are a car owner, try to avoid picking up the fuel pump handle with bare hands. Use the plastic gloves supplied on the forecourt.
It goes without saying that we all want to avoid Covid-19 but as we have to interact with other people and the chance of staying in isolation is very unrealistic. Taking a few simple precautions will reduce your chances of infection and also reduce the virus spreading further.
