COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in areas
with hot and humid climates
From the evidence so far, the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted
in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather. Regardless of
climate, adopt protective measures if you live in, or travel to an area
reporting COVID-19. The best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is by
frequently cleaning your hands. By doing this you eliminate viruses that may be
on your hands and avoid infection that could occur by then touching your eyes,
mouth, and nose.
Cold weather and snow CANNOT kill the new coronavirus.
There is no reason to believe that cold weather can kill the new
coronavirus or other diseases. The normal human body temperature remains around
36.5°C to 37°C, regardless of the external temperature or weather. The most
effective way to protect yourself against the new coronavirus is by frequently
cleaning your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or washing them with soap and
water.
Taking a hot bath does not prevent the new coronavirus disease
Taking a hot bath will not prevent you from catching COVID-19.
Your normal body temperature remains around 36.5°C to 37°C, regardless of the
temperature of your bath or shower. Actually, taking a hot bath with extremely
hot water can be harmful, as it can burn you. The best way to protect yourself
against COVID-19 is by frequently cleaning your hands. By doing this you
eliminate viruses that may be on your hands and avoid infection that coud occur
by then touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
The new coronavirus CANNOT be transmitted through mosquito
bites.
To date there has been no information nor evidence to suggest
that the new coronavirus could be transmitted by mosquitoes. The new
coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets
generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of
saliva or discharge from the nose. To protect yourself, clean your hands
frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
Also, avoid close contact with anyone who is coughing and sneezing
Are hand dryers effective in killing the new coronavirus?
No. Hand dryers are not effective in killing the 2019-nCoV. To
protect yourself against the new coronavirus, you should frequently clean your
hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Once
your hands are cleaned, you should dry them thoroughly by using paper towels or
a warm air dryer.
Can an ultraviolet disinfection lamp kill the
new coronavirus?
