People in the country and around the world are worried about the increasing cases of corona infection. Every day new cases of corona positive are coming up and the number of deaths due to this is also increasing every day. People have been appealed to take all kinds of precautions, including cleanliness, social distancing, to prevent the Korana infection. Even in bringing goods from the market, there is an appeal to be careful. Meanwhile, research has revealed that the infection of corona can be spread through shoes. Come, let’s know about this:
A research study has revealed that
shoe sole can also become a carrier of bacteria, fungus, and viruses. It is being told that the coronavirus can remain alive for five days even in the shoe sole. According to a report in the Daily Mail, scientists say that the coronavirus remains alive in the shoe sole for five days, especially in shoes that have been worn in public busy areas such as supermarkets, transport, or hospitals.
Now it is to understand
how the virus will reach the shoe sol! Actually, we all know that the corona infected person spreads the virus through droplets, or fluid particles, coming out of his mouth when he sneezes or coughs. Droplets spread in the air due to their coughing or sneezing fell on the ground or on the heels or lace of the shoes, then the virus can also come in the sole of the shoes due to exposure to the virus.
It should be known that the shoes are made of solid durable synthetic materials ie rubber, PVC and leather plastic, etc. Air, fluid or moisture cannot pass through these materials, so there is a possibility of bacteria or virus living in them. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine also claimed that the coronavirus remains alive for 24 hours in cardboard. However, it also depends on the temperature of the atmosphere.
According to this study,
the coronavirus in plastic and stainless steel remains alive for two to three days, while the synthetic material used in shoes can survive for five days. The study also has support from Kansas City Public Health Specialist Karol and other experts. They say that synthetic materials and plastic shoes can keep the active virus alive.
Health experts
Recommend that shoes should be removed at the door of the house only after possible corona infection has come from public places. Especially shopping malls or people working outside and health workers are advised to do so. It is known that the prevention of coronavirus is available till people get proper treatment.
