Unfortunately we find ourselves talking once again about the cursed Coronavirus, which has devastated the entire globe with often irreparable damage. The discoveries in the scientific field are becoming stronger every day and we will probably soon be able to eradicate this cancer, but in the meantime our habits have changed although perhaps in terms of sanitation we still do not shine. In fact, if we are in a supermarket, maybe we use the disinfectant provided by the manager and wear a mask, but only because we are forced to while at home, maybe we even forget to wash our hands.
At home, above all, we have an enemy who is always with us. that accompanies our awakenings and our sleep, or the smartphone. In fact, although the World Health Organization had stated at the time that Covid-19 could survive on the surface of things for no more than 72 hours, a recent discovery assures that the virus can actually stay alive for up to 28 days. , for example if present on the displays of our mobile phones.
Given that we do not want to trigger any alarmism, it is good to know that the Australian body CSIRO (Industrial Health Research Organization) has just published the results of a study, in which it was analyzed how long Covid-19 can stay alive in those elements that are used daily.
Does the smartphone become a vehicle for Coronavirus infection? Here's what you need to know
The results reveal that the coronavirus can remain active on the surface of banknotes (money) and smartphone screens for up to 28 days. To contribute to the "well-being" of the virus are elements such as light and temperature. If both elements are kept low, the virus is more likely to survive for up to a month.
This does not mean that we must keep our smartphone in a furnace, but perhaps it becomes necessary to work for a daily cleaning but also more, of our mobile terminal, in order to avoid any contagion with the infamous disease. In fact, by cleaning your smartphone daily, the risk of infection is reduced to 90%.
The virus needs the screen not to exceed 20 degrees Celsius to survive for a month. If the temperature rises to 30 degrees, the period is reduced to only one week, while at 40 degrees the virus barely survives 24 hours. So don't wait any longer and clean the display, not only because there are fingerprints ...
