WHO considers ‘airborne Safety Measures’ for medical staff after study shows coronavirus can survive in air

The World Health Organization is thinking about "airborne safety measures" for clinical staff after another investigation demonstrated the coronavirus can make due noticeable all around in certain settings. 

The infection is transmitted through beads, or small amounts of fluid, for the most part through wheezing or hacking, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, leader of WHO's rising maladies and zoonosis unit, told journalists during a virtual news meeting on Monday. "At the point when you do a vaporized producing technique like in a clinical consideration office, you have the likelihood to what we call aerosolize these particles, which implies they can remain noticeable all around somewhat more." 

She included: "It's significant that medicinal services laborers play it safe when they're taking a shot at patients and doing those techniques." 

World wellbeing authorities state the respiratory illness spreads through human-to-human contact, beads brought through sniffling and hacking just as germs left on lifeless things. The coronavirus can go airborne, remaining suspended noticeable all around relying upon variables, for example, warmth and stickiness, they said. 

Kerkhove said wellbeing authorities know about a few investigations in various nations taking a gander at the diverse natural conditions that COVID-19 can persevere. Researchers are explicitly taking a gander at how moistness, temperature and bright lighting influences the illness just as to what extent it lives on various surfaces, including steel, she said. 

Wellbeing authorities utilize the data to ensure WHO's direction is fitting, and "so far ... we are certain that the direction that we have is fitting," she included. Wellbeing authorities suggest clinical staff wear alleged N95 veils since they sift through about 95% of all fluid or airborne particles. 

"In social insurance offices, we ensure human services laborers utilize standard bead precautionary measures with the special case ... that they're doing an airborne producing system," she said. 

Robert Redfield, executive of the U.S. Habitats for Disease Control and Prevention, disclosed to Congress a month ago that the office was forcefully assessing to what extent COVID-19 can endure, especially on surfaces. 

"On copper and steel, it's entirely normal, it's basically around two hours," Redfield said at a House hearing. "Yet, I will say on different surfaces — cardboard or plastic — it's more drawn out, thus we are taking a gander at this." 

Redfield included diseases contracted from surfaces as opposed to through the air could have added to the episode on the Diamond Princess journey transport. 

Independently, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday that there's been a fast acceleration of COVID-19 cases over the previous week, including, "we have not seen a pressing enough heightening in testing, disconnection and contact following, which is the foundation of the reaction." 

"We have a basic message for all nations: test, test, test. Test each presumed case, in the event that they test constructive, separate them and discover who they have been in contact with two days before they created indications and test those individuals, as well," Tedros said.

The Italy - Wuhan Connection

Why did the Corona Virus which originated in Wuhan, China cause such widespread outbreak in a distant, other continent country like Italy?

The answer is that Italy has a strong  textile garment industry trade relation  with China especially with the Wuhan province in China.

1 lakh Chinese Workers work in  Textile Industry in Italy (esp. North Italy)

Italy even has direct flights from Wuhan.

Northern Italy has a huge Chinese immigrant population, many of whom traveled from Wuhan. Instead of testing and restricting these people, Italian authorities launched a ‘Hug a Chinese’ campaign in February. They are now paying the price. 
"I’m not a virus. I’m human. Eradicate the prejudice.” This was the message of videos released in northern Italy in February this year, urging Italians to hug Chinese people to encourage them in the fight against the coronavirus.

Moreover, Chinese New Year 2020 was celebrated from Jan 25 to Feb 8, 2020. So many of these Chinese immigrants went home from Italy to Wuhan to celebrate the New Year with their families. When they returned after their leave, they were not tested in Italy airports. 

The rest, as they say, is history!
