You Should Definitely Be Aware Of The Following Questions
👇
Can I catch COVID-19 from my pet or other animals?🐕🐈
Several dogs and cats (domestic cats and tigers) in contact with infected humans have tested positive for COVID-19. In addition, ferrets appear to be susceptible to the infection. In experimental conditions, both cats and ferrets were able to transmit the infection to other animals of the same species. However, there is no evidence that these animals can transmit the disease to humans and spread COVID-19. COVID-19 is mainly spread through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks.
People can catch COVID-19 from
others who have the virus. The disease spreads primarily from person to person
through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when a person
with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are relatively heavy,
do not travel far and quickly sink to the ground. People can catch COVID-19 if
they breathe in these droplets from a person infected with the virus.
Therefore, it is important to stay at least 1 meter) away from others. These
droplets can land on objects and surfaces around the person such as tables,
doorknobs, and handrails. People can become infected by
touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth.
This is why it is important to wash your hands regularly with soap and
water or clean with alcohol-based hand rub.
How long does the virus survive on surfaces?
The most important thing to know about coronavirus on surfaces is that they can easily be cleaned with common household disinfectants that will kill the virus. Studies have shown that the COVID-19 virus can survive for up to 72 hours on plastic and stainless steel, less than 4 hours on copper and less than 24 hours on cardboard.
