with Respect to methods of protection against the epidemic COVID-19 world different. But scientists of all countries, including Russia, are unanimous on one thing: the coronavirus is defined as an infection that will remain with us for a long time, — said Tuesday the head of Rospotrebnadzor, Chief state sanitary doctor of Russia Anna Popova at a press briefing at the White house.
And in order to maintain life and health in this new reality, will have to develop a number of rules and a life new. “We already know a lot about the features of the new infection and the disease that it causes, so we need new rules of our everyday conduct, which take account of this knowledge,” — said Popov.
So, today it is proved that the new coronavirus remains active on surfaces for up to 72 hours — and that means now have to very carefully observe hygiene measures and to conduct wet cleaning, to disinfect surfaces and, of course, to keep clean hands. The virus, which was believed in the beginning, “is not transmitted from person to person”, is now recognized to be several times more contagious than the flu — so, wearing masks is not a whim and not excessive requirement of the authorities and the necessary remedy.
According to Anna Popova, the necessary measures of security and prevention need to follow not only in everyday life, new rules should be based the operation of all businesses, when they will gradually resume their work.
“In the CPS prepared methodological recommendations for enterprises of different branches, detailing how the supposed to base their work,” said Anna Popova. Let’s look at a special “coronavirus” mode when working in service industries.
for Example, before opening any service business the compulsory cleaning and disinfection. Compromises are not relevant here. A more thorough treatment of the room, ventilation should now be carried out more often.
to many of the requirements we have, in fact, used. To enter the premises “just because” it is impossible, and the crowd of workers and visitors is not allowed. Employees undergo mandatory “temperature filter” before and measure the temperature during the shift. It is clear that they have to work in masks and gloves (the owner should follow up on this is his responsibility), the same restrictions apply, and customers.
Employees of the services sector is now not allowed to eat in the workplace. This requires a separate room with a sink to provide the opportunity to wash my hands. continue in effect the requirement of a distancing. The distance between people — at least 1.5 meters.
Even stricter procedure for hairdressing and beauty salons. They work by appointment only, to exclude the queue. In an extreme case, clients are encouraged to wait at the entrance to the street, keeping to the markup.
Inside the beauty salon the principle is simple: one Barber, one customer in the audience no longer has anyone to be. The employee is required to wear protective clothing and a respirator, and changing outfits every three hours, and after the change is undergoing extensive washing and disinfection.
As said Anna Popova, the observance of self-isolation and distancing helped to slow the spread and to smooth out peaks in incidence, so this efficiency measure, we have to observe in the future.
