COVID-19/elevator button stick epidemic prevention film! According to the doctor's analysis, this is effective.

COVID-19 continues to pose a threat to the whole world, and people dare not be careless. The concept of epidemic prevention has been gradually improved. In addition to measuring the body temperature when entering and leaving the building, many communities also put films or plastic wrap on the handles and buttons of elevators to prevent the spread of the virus.

In this regard, Dr. Cai, director of pediatrics at Keelung Chang Gung Hospital, also pointed out: "If plastic wrap or diaphragm is attached, it needs to be replaced or cleaned and disinfected regularly. Adding an extra layer is a reminder, but the key is to follow the frequency of cleaning. If the cleaning frequency is not high, I am afraid the effect is not good. The most important thing is the function of reminding.

How to prevent the epidemic correctly? Many doctors also put forward their own views. Chen Zhijin, an attending physician in the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Chi Mei Hospital, once analyzed on Facebook that some friends would avoid pressing the elevator with their fingertips, so they used knuckles, nails or elbows instead, but they didn't wash their hands immediately after pressing, and the epidemic prevention effect was not good.

Therefore, Dr. Chen Zhijin suggested that you can find a ballpoint pen with a retractable nib, press the lifter, and then retract the nib, so that it won't be touched again. Of course, a more effective way is to take the stairs instead of the elevator, so as to avoid touching the keys and exercising at the same time.

China's Ministry of Science and Technology has a similar policy. Xie Dabin, Minister of Government Affairs of the Ministry of Science and Technology, asked his colleagues to buy copper foil, cut it into small squares, stick it on the elevator button of the building, and disinfect the copper foil regularly every day.

Because the virus can survive for 4 hours on the surface of copper products, its life span is shorter than that of plastic and stainless steel. Although copper is not conducive to the survival of viruses, it is more important to wash your hands frequently anyway. Only by maintaining a clean environment and personal hygiene habits can we completely prevent the invasion of viruses.
