Head of the Department of Microbiology, Virology and immunology, First Moscow state medical University named after I. M. Sechenov, academician Vitaly Zverev warned about the dangers of prolonged wearing of masks and gloves.
According to him, coronavirus COVID-19 is not stored on surfaces for a long time. What remains after 24-72 hours, it is not a live virus, and traces of it, gene. While the virus itself is already unsustainable. In this context, wearing gloves does not make sense, and only hurts. Moreover, the skin protects much better gloves.
“We collect everything you can, and fungi, and bacteria, and allergens, and drag it home, and in the same way — drag-to-face. If the person is wearing gloves — he can’t touch the person, that it somehow will stop? It’s a meaningless measure,” said Zverev, “Interfax”.
in addition, he predicts the growth of other diseases, particularly dermatitis, because gloves spoil your skin. The same applies to antiseptics, which destroy the beneficial microflora.
Zverev Also opposed against wearing masks in the street.
“when I see children on the street wear masks, want to ask the question — who are they have emphysema be treated after wearing this mask? — asks the academic. Or when people bike in the mask go. The street is not the flying virus! If you kept the social distance, nothing will not be passed”.
He explained that putting on a mask is necessary only in places of a congestion of people – in the subway, shops and on the street it is not just useless, but harmful. Two hours later, the wear it of protection becomes a means of infection, because the air in addition to COVID-19 there are mushrooms and bacteria that are deposited on the mask and can infect a person. In this respect, Zverev expects growth of diseases such as emphysema lungs, bronchial asthma, fungal, allergic and bacterial diseases.
in addition, Zverev questioned the need for disinfection of the roads and sidewalks. According to him, so grown bacteria that are resistant to disinfectants, “and then some Pseudomonas aeruginosa gets into medclinic, and you no sanitary methods get her out of there”.
on the Eve of Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin told Russian President Vladimir Putin about the fight against the spread of coronavirus. From 1 June in the capital will operate the new rules: must earn non-food stores, dry cleaner, repair shops and other services. Also Muscovites allowed walks three times a week in accordance with the schedule. To go outside will be possible only in the mask.
