Can cigarette smoke and hand dryers kill the Corona virus?

What to do when the store is out of hand sanitizer?

No problem. Washing your hands with soap and water regularly can still be an effective way to prevent Covid-19. Also remember to wash between your fingers, the backs of your hands, and around your fingers. After cleaning your hands, dry them with a clean towel or a warm air hand dryer.

Note, hand dryers are not effective in killing the coronavirus.

How long can disinfectants be used to protect surfaces against coronavirus infection?

If the surrounding surfaces are dirty, clean them with soap or a regular detergent and rinse with water. Then use a common household disinfectant such as bleach because the active ingredient sodium hypochlorite can kill bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Always wear protective gloves when using bleach and dilute bleach with water according to the instructions on the package.

Does smoking make Covid-19 more severe than normal people?

Smoking does not protect you from Covid-19. In fact, smoking is very harmful to your health. More than 8 million people die each year from smoking. In addition, smoking makes underlying conditions such as heart disease worse. People with underlying conditions are more likely to develop severe Covid-19 than the general population.

In any case, if you have a fever, persistent cough and difficulty breathing, see a doctor for timely and appropriate examination and treatment. Absolutely do not take antibiotics on your own because they do not work against the corona virus but are only effective against infections caused by bacteria.

In addition, the Ministry of Health recommends that people and the community take the initiative to protect their health.

Avoid traveling if you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if you have any suspicious symptoms. Also, share your travel history with medical staff. Avoid contact with people who have a fever or cough. Wash your hands frequently with soap and avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.

When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve. After using the tissue, throw it in the trash and wash your hands thoroughly. Only eat cooked food. Do not spit in public places. Avoid close contact with domestic or wild animals.

Wear a mask when going to crowded places or when coming into contact with someone who has symptoms of illness. When wearing it, make sure that the mask covers your mouth and nose and avoid touching the mask while in use. If using a disposable mask, immediately throw it in the trash after use and wash your hands after removing the mask.
