Soap is more effective in preventing corona.In the first few hours after the news of the diagnosis of a novel so-called coronavirus or Covid-19 infected patient in the country, soap face masks, hand sanitizer prices increased several times. Besides, these products disappear from the store.
In such a situation, experts say there is nothing more effective in destroying coronary germs than in soap. No special soap is needed for this disinfection. In general, soap is most effective in destroying the germs of Covid-19.
Professor Mirzadi Sabrina Flora, director of the National Institute of Pathology, Disease Control and Research, said, “In every press conference we take every day, the preventive measures we take to prevent coronas are called soap water.” It is said that washing your hands regularly with soap mixed water for at least 20 seconds can get rid of the germs.
Asked whether soap water or hand sanitizer is needed, the former Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and Professor of Medicine Dr Dr ABM Abdullah said, “There is no need for hand sanitizer. Repeatedly, the best soap is water. ‘
“There is no need to use hand sanitizer,” he said. People are buying and stocking them at high prices. But there is no logic to this. Simple soap should only be used if using water. The cloth will be raw soap but will continue. However, when it is released, it is better.
Asked why raw soap is so good in clothes, Dr Abdullah said, “The soap contains alkali so that germs can die quickly.”
Former IEDCR director Prof Dr Mahmudur Rahman said that the first thing is to wash soap with soap. All kinds of powdered soap are much more effective than anything other than just glycerin soap. ‘
He added, “Hand sanitizer is only asked for use when there is no water and soap so that it can be protected at that time.” But where there is water and soap, it is better to use it. ‘
Professor Dr. Mahmudur Rahman said the house floor, furniture, table, door handle should also be removed with soapy water to disinfect the house.
With the World Health Organization’s decommissioned ‘Clorox’ (which is in the market for large containers, which displaces the hospital), the floor will be clean and sterile. ”
Dr. Mahmudur Rahman said, “One of the destroyers of Corona’s life is soap-water, hand-rub, Clorox-Liquid. Clorox-Lysol can be wiped with a thin cloth and wiped furniture, so that these areas will be clean.
But the best is soap-water. After mixing the powder with soap in the bucket, wiping the furniture with another cloth, then wiping it in water and removing it, there is no chance of germs. This is best for cleaning.
He said that first wash hands with soap. There is no alternative to this. Then maybe anyone can hand sanitizer if they want.
The expert said, “We are talking about face masks, hand sanitizers. But if the house-office is not clean, there will be infection. The door-bathroom handle must also be cleaned. And in the case of the office all the doors inside should be opened so that the door does not have to be grabbed by the hand. The office’s biometric attendees also need to be closed. These are very small majors – but they are the ones who will help the most. ‘
Dr. Mahmudur Rahman said, “We have not been able to close the meeting yet. The election campaign is underway. All of this, however, causes damage. So, all of these must be avoided. ‘
