Many people think that the worst is over regarding the coronavirus, and that economic activities can return to normal, however, the data shows that this is not the case, the world still needs to view the disease as a state of emergency.
We know that the vaccines that are being produced are in the testing phase, and therefore cannot be considered as an effective and immediate cure for use. We speak in this matter here about Pfizer, which is a pioneering company in the manufacture of antibiotics.
She recently announced that the world will have a complete vaccine by June. However, the use of this vaccine will not be immediately next month, but rather from October. There is a whole logistics process that needs to be respected, such as the exact number of production, which countries started distributing it first, the number of infected people in the country, etc.
Covid-19 is still a global health emergency
According to information from the WHO, there is no average survival time for the virus outside of humans, but there are some prevention tactics that need to be taken worldwide.
The latest research evaluated by the WHO indicates that the virus can persist on surfaces for a few hours or, surprisingly, for several days. This can vary and depends on the local conditions, the climate and the humidity of the environment.
People can catch COVID-19 from other people who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth that spread when a person with the disease coughs or exhales.
In other words, the researchers explain that these droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people catch the novel coronavirus simply by touching these objects or surfaces and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
The WHO recommendation is:
Do you suspect that a surface is contaminated? Immediately clean it with a disinfectant and avoid touching your eyes, mouth or nose. After that, sanitize your hands with alcohol or wash them with soap and water.
If flu symptoms worsen, seek medical attention!
