Questions And Answers About Coronavirus 0005
Is a face mask useful against the Coronavirus? and how often does it have to be replaced?
There is very little evidence that wearing face masks make a difference. Experts say good hygiene – such as regularly washing your hands and certainly before putting them near your mouth – is vastly more effective. When to use a mask If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with the suspected 2019-nCoV infection. Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing. Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.

How to put on, use, take off and dispose of a mask
Before putting on a mask, clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. Cover mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask. Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not re-use single-use masks. To remove the mask: remove it from behind (do not touch the front of the mask); discard immediately in a closed bin; clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

Can gargling mouthwash protect you from infection with the new coronavirus?
No. There is no evidence that using mouthwash will protect you from infection with the new coronavirus. Some brands of mouthwash can eliminate certain microbes for a few minutes in the saliva in your mouth. However, this does not mean they protect you from 2019-nCoV infection.

Do people who have contracted Coronavirus can recover?
Yes. Many of those who contract coronavirus will experience only mild symptoms. These include fever, coughing, and respiratory problems. Most people are expected to make a full recovery. But it can pose a particular risk for elderly people and those with pre-existing problems like diabetes or cancer, or weak immune systems. As of 14 April, WHO health authorities said that 119,686 people had died from the virus and recovered cases are 453,289. The number of confirmed cases stands at 1,920,918. An expert at China’s National Health Commission has said that it can take a week to recover from mild coronavirus symptoms.

Can the coronavirus be transferred through items bought from Wuhan?
There is no evidence this is a risk. Some diseases – including the coronavirus that causes Sars – can spread through surfaces contaminated by people coughing or sneezing on them.

Should I go to a public event?

At this stage, the whole nations worldwide do not propose altering arrangements for public events. If you are an organizer of events you should focus on reminding the public not to attend if they are feeling unwell and ensure your emergency management plan is up-to-date. We also recommend reminding event organizers and workers to practice good hygiene and are supplying a PDF which can be printed and prominently displayed near toilets and food preparation areas. Anyone scheduled to work at or attend a public event should stay home if they feel unwell. This is the standard health advice. Even if people feel well, they should always practice good hygiene by:

  • + cover coughs and sneezes with disposable tissues or clothing
  • + wash hands for at least 20 seconds with water and soap and dry thoroughly:
  • – before eating or handling food
  • – after using the toilet
  • – after coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose or wiping children’s noses
