The best quotes of Dr. Komarovsky about the coronavirus

“On surfaces, especially metal, virus can be stored for up to 10 hours. Therefore, if you grabbed the doorknob, opened it, entered the staircase, pressed the elevator button... What should you do next first? Entering the apartment, immediately wash your hands, and correctly - at least 20 seconds should be in contact with soapy water. "

“How to treat the premises to get rid of viruses accurately? The main thing is intensive air exchange. And this is, first of all, intensive end-to-end ventilation. And everything that can be washed is washed. "

“Vodka does not disinfect, there is also little alcohol in tinctures. For a disinfectant effect against coronavirus, the alcohol concentration must be at least 65%. So, when buying sanitizers and any other disinfectants for prevention, pay attention to the concentration of alcohol. "

“Repeated use of masks is unacceptable. I do not recommend disinfecting disposable masks. "

“All phones need regular disinfection. Better - alcohol. If you can operate the phone with only one hand and open the rest with the other, then do so. Whenever you can use a headset, use it. "

“In the fresh air, where there is wind and free space, the virus does not threaten you. If, of course, you keep the recommended social distance with other people - 2-3 meters. So walk your dog calmly, run and exercise, but in deserted places. "

“First of all, the first-aid kit for people from the risk group should have drugs that they constantly use to treat their chronic diseases - hypertension, diabetes, asthma and others. The supply of these drugs is very important! You can add antipyretics and vitamins here, but please do not go to the pharmacy yourself. Ask young people to do this, you can cooperate on a common order with your neighbors. "

“When purchasing food for the period of quarantine, first of all, you need logic and common sense. These should be non-perishable foodstuffs that will allow you not to leave your home or visit pharmacies and supermarkets for at least 2-3 weeks. Be sure to stock up on detergents. Soap is more important than any buckwheat - I draw your attention to this. "

“You can't survive the coronavirus and then die from diphtheria, tetanus, measles or whooping cough. Of course, routine vaccinations during a pandemic should be done, but with all your might try not to contact with anyone in the clinic, take all precautions to minimize the risk infection ".

“More than 80% of people carry the coronavirus easily and recover completely without any consequences. Severe forms, as a rule, are accompanied by exacerbations of existing chronic diseases. "

“All over the world, very clear, simple and specific indications have been formulated for when it is necessary to immediately stop self-medication and seek medical attention. With regard to coronavirus, such indications are the following: the temperature is above 39 degrees, which does not decrease after the use of antipyretic drugs, a feeling of shortness of breath, retarded consciousness, a combination of weakness, high temperature and diarrhea ".

“Children, in principle, are not included in the risk group for coronavirus, if they do not have a serious background pathology (immunodeficiency, disability, oncology, congenital diseases of the respiratory system, severe neurological pathology, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis). A child who gets sick with ARVI 14 times a year is a child who manages to recover 14 times a year. "

“The mild form of coronavirus requires fresh air and compote as therapy, which is practically free. Well, maybe sometimes one paracetamol pill when the temperature rises, which is also not very expensive. "

“When it comes to using laundry soap to wash your nose, this is a classic example of crazy parental gangsterism. Laundry soap causes chemical burns of the mucous membranes of the nose, and this in no way improves their functioning, which means that it does not decrease, but increases the risk of viral infections. "

“Whiskey with a strength of over 65 degrees can be used as a sanitizer, and the effect on the hands will be quite high. Whether this amount of alcohol, when taken orally, has any protective effect against coronavirus - I very much doubt, and there is no such research. But in general, it is believed that a dose of 50 ml in terms of 40% alcohol has a fairly good psychotherapeutic effect. "

"To date, there is not a single case where a person contracted the coronavirus from food purchased in a supermarket, only from person to person."
