Former chief sanitary doctor of Russia, first Deputy Chairman of the Committee on education and science Gennady Onishchenko called the main source of infection in the city. In an interview with “Parlamentskaya Gazeta”, he said that to be infected with the coronavirus without leaving the house – in the entryway.
“In my estimation, the staircase – the “forgotten” place from the point of view of carrying out anti-epidemic measures. Now finally came the Sunny days, but our entrances are usually designed so that there is almost no insolation. And that means that the virus can persist longer,” – said Onishchenko.
According to him, road is full of dangers.
“There are railings, and Elevator buttons, intercom, and if we go down by foot, you can easily meet the neighbor, who, puffing, goes upstairs,” said former chief sanitary doctor.
He added that “to obtain the infection can easily be”, if you happen to be in the stairwell during rush hour, when all the neighbors go to work. So, coming into the stairwell from the apartment, you have to be in a mask and gloves.
According to Onishchenko, wear masks, even on the street, despite the fact that the recommendations of the Ministry of health the use of them outdoors is listed as not mandatory. In such a megapolis as Moscow, it is difficult to observe social distance, and people on the street are increasing, said the former head of Rospotrebnadzor.
Earlier, doctor of biological Sciences, Professor, School of system biology, George Mason University (USA) Ancha Baranova was named the most dangerous from the epidemiological point of view a place in an apartment building. According to her, this lift because it focuses a very small volume of air, so the one who rides in it after the infected, is in a “viral cloud”.
