Nobel laureate Dr. Peter Doherty is a highly respected immunologist who thinks he should be very careful with the different packagingwhich we bring from outside the home, given the relentless pandemic of COVID-19. This was reported in the Australian Daily Mail.
Prof. Doherty is of the opinion that the packaging itself may not be such a problem and may not be on the agenda as a precautionary measure against the spread of respiratory disease, but this does not mean that we should not think more about it. The reason is that the virus can live from several hours to days on the various surfaces that we can bring into our home and thus become infected with the dangerous virus.
For example, the coronavirus, according to some studies, can live on cardboard or paper for about 24 hours, while on plastic - for 9 days. Because of this packaging is a prerequisite for infection, and it is important to be careful with other surfaces according to Prof. Doherty.
The disease is extremely dangerous and even after healing, a number of complications can occur not only with the respiratory system, but also with chronic diseases, if the patient has such.
That is why, subtracting the food from the cardboard box, it should be discarded immediately, and you should wash your hands you are fine.
The topic is especially relevant today since the virus it continues to spread and its casualties increase with each passing day.
About plastic boxes Prof. Doherty advises that after removing the food from it, it should be washed well, as well as wash your hands again. You can also use special disinfectants for this purpose.
Timothy Newsham of the University of Sydney is of the opinion that in the period of rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic it is good to insure yourself additionally by washing fruits and vegetables with soap. Timothy Newsom adds that now any surface can be considered potentially dangerous and it is important to reinsure ourselves, protecting our health and that of our loved ones.
Professor Doherty adds that it is good to relax the masks under the chin if we are outdoors. He believes that in this way we will not only be able to breathe fresh air, but also masks are a potential carrier of various infections and easily moisturized, thus increasing the risk of infection.
Peter Doherty won the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1996 for describing in detail the mechanism by which white blood cells (leukocytes) detect and destroy infected cells in our body. In any case, it is important to be responsible for our health and to protect ourselves and our loved ones during the pandemic with COVID19.
