Doctor Komarovsky answered the main questions about the coronavirus

How long does the virus stay in the air, for example, in an elevator, in stairwells?

According to Komarovsky, it is difficult to give an exact answer to this question.

If you entered an elevator, where a person was actively coughing, then it is advisable to step back and wait until the particles virus will not settle on surfaces by gravity (this will take a few minutes).

On the surfaces themselves, the Chinese virus remains active for up to 10 hours, and then dies.

There is a danger of picking up viral particles by pressing, for example, the elevator call button with your finger, and then touching your face. Therefore, there is a rule that we do not touch our face until we wash our hands with soap and water, but we need to wash at least 20 seconds!

If the family is ill, how to carry out the treatment of the entire apartment?

First, you must provide air exchange, through ventilation. Second, wash anything that can be washed.

As a disinfection, use all available means, alcohol, whiteness (we dilute it in proportions of 1 to 10 in water). We wash clothes at high temperatures.

How not to get infected on public transport?

Use public transport if there are no other options at all. Try waking up earlier to avoid rush hour.

Walk more, get your bike.

Is it possible to accurately diagnose a coronavirus in oneself?

There is not a single specific symptom or set of symptoms to diagnose COVID-19 without hesitation. Regardless of the type of disease, you should monitor your health and not panic for no reason.

In most cases, the coronavirus is mild: patients need bed rest, a lot of water and symptomatic treatment.

If you feel that your condition is getting worse, such as difficulty breathing, you should call an ambulance for hospitalization.
