UP
UP LESS
UP LESS THAN HALF THE NUMBER OF CASES, THEY ACCOUNT FOR 56% OF
THE DEATHS FROM COVID-19.
>>> A LOT OF MISINFORMATION
GOES VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
OUR MISSION IS TO SEPARATE FACT
FROM FICTION.
FROM FICTION. WE KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. WE BRING IN OUR 9HEALTH EXPERT
DR. PAYAL KOHLI TO ANSWER THEM.
MANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE
ARE SEEING TODAY HAVE TO DO
WITH CLEANING. FOR INSTANCE,
OUR FIRST VIEWER WANTS TO KNOW
IF THE CORONAVIRUS CAN TRAVEL
ON FLOORS.
ON FLOORS. DO YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THE
FLOORS?
FLOORS?
FLOORS? WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY?
>> GOOD MORNING, NATASHA.
CERTAINLY THE CORONAVIRUS CAN
BOTH LIVE AND TRAVEL ON FLOORS.
A STUDY FROM WUHAN, CHINA SHOW
THAT 70% TO 100% OF THE FLOORS
IN THE HOSPITAL WARD WERE
POSITIVE FOR VIRAL PARTICLES
AND GREATER THAN 50% OF
HEALTHCARE WORKERS SHOES WERE
POSITIVE FOR VIRAL PARTICLES.
IT WAS THOUGHT THAT THE SHOES
WERE THE PRIMARY SYSTEM OF
SPREADING THE VIRUS AROUND THE
FLOOR OF THE HOSPITAL.
IT IS IMPORTANT NOT JUST TO
CLEAN YOUR FLOORS REGULARLY BUT
ALSO TO THINK ABOUT LEAVING
YOUR SHOES THAT YOU ARE WEARING
OUTSIDE YOUR HOME SO YOU ARE
NOT TRACKING THOSE VIRAL
PARTICLES INTO YOUR HOME.
IN TERMS OF WHAT IS BEST TO
USE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
DISINFECTANTS THAT WOULD BE
EFFECTIVE.
EFFECTIVE. YOU CAN LOOK AND SEE DEPENDING
ON THE TYPE OF FLOOR YOU HAVE
WHETHER IT IS TILE OR HARDWOOD
FLOOR, WHICH ONE IS BEST TO
USE.
USE.
USE. IT
USE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET INTO
THOSE NOOKS AND CRANNIES AND
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS PLENTY
OF CONTACT TIME.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MOPPET AND
DRY IT OFF, LET IT DRY.
>> THE NEXT QUESTION IS ABOUT
THE VIRUS IN THE AIR.
VIEWER WANTS TO KNOW IF
SPRAYING LYSOL WILL KILL A
VIRUS LIVING IN THE AIR IN
SMALL SPACES.
SMALL SPACES. >> CERTAINLY WE HAVE SEEN
PHOTOS FROM ALL OVER EUROPE OF
THE STREETS BEING SPRAYED WITH
DILUTED BLEACH SOLUTIONS BUT
THE PURPOSE OF THIS SPRAYING IS
NOT SO MUCH TO SANITIZE THE AIR
AS IT IS TO SANITIZE THE
SERVICES.
SERVICES.
SERVICES. THE REASON FOR THAT IS WHEN YOU
SPRAY THE DISINFECTANT INTO THE
AIR, IT QUICKLY FALLS TO THE
GROUND AND THE CONTACT TIME IS
VERY SHORT.
VERY SHORT. WE DO KNOW THAT YOU NEED A
CONTACT TIME OF ABOUT ONE
MINUTE IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY
SANITIZE THINGS.
SANITIZE THINGS. THE AEROSOLS THAT ARE IN THE
AIR WILL GET REDUCED IF YOU
SPRAY LYSOL INTO THE AIR BUT
THEY ARE UNLIKELY TO BE
ELIMINATED.
ELIMINATED. >> WITH THE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER
BEING LIFTED FOR THIS WEEKEND,
A VIEWER IS ASKING QUESTIONS
ABOUT SOCIAL DISTANCING AND
SALONS.
SALONS.
SALONS. WILL CUSTOMERS BE ABLE TO STAY
SAFE IF STYLISTS WEAR MASKS OR
ARE PLASTIC SHIELDS BETTER?
>> SOCIAL DISTANCING IN A
SALONS IS A REAL CHALLENGE
BECAUSE BY DEFINITION IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE.
IMPOSSIBLE. THE PERSON HAS TO BE CLOSE TO
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. WE
YOU. WE DO KNOW THAT MASKS AND
SOCIAL DISTANCING ARE NOT
REPLACEMENTS FOR EACH OTHER.
WE NEED BOTH OF THEM TO BE
EFFECTIVE.
EFFECTIVE. SINCE WE CAN'T DO SOCIAL
DISTANCING IN A SALON, HAVING A
LOT OF PPE IS A GOOD IDEA.
HERE IS WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND.
THE CUSTOMER THEMSELVES SHOULD
WEAR A MASK TO PREVENT THEIR
DROPLETS FROM GETTING OUT.
THE HAIRSTYLIST SHOULD WEAR
BOTH THE MASK AS WELL AS A FACE
SHIELD BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
MASKS ARE VERY GOOD AT
PREVENTING DROPLETS FROM
GETTING OUT AND FACE SHIELDS
ARE GOOD AT PREVENTING DROPLETS
FROM GETTING IN. THE OTHER
RECOMMENDATION I WOULD HAVE IS
THE NORMALLY WHEN WE GO TO THE
SALON AND TALK TO OUR
HAIRSTYLIST, WE MAKE
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. DON'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
THE MORE THAT PEOPLE TALK, THE
MORE DROPLETS THAT ARE EMITTED
AND IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BE
QUIET WHILE YOU'RE GETTING YOUR
HAIR DONE.
HAIR DONE. WHEN YOU GET HOME, MAKE SURE
YOU WASH YOUR FACE IN CASE THE
HAIRSTYLIST HAS TOUCHED YOUR
FACE AT ALL.
GET RID OF ANY POTENTIAL VIRAL
PARTICLES THAT COULD
