India with Janata CurfewOn coronavirus outbreak, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the nation announced a 'Janata Curfew' on Sunday (March 22). To contain the spread of coronavirus in India, PM requested all the citizens on March 22 from 7 am till 9 pm to abide by the 'Janata Curfew'.
From the scientific point of view, with 24-hours of curfew, the virus cycle can be broken. If the virus will not get any human body for 24-hour then due to which some extent of the existing virus will be destroyed from the atmosphere. Our roads, office doors, railing elevators, etc. will be sanitized. Definite desi and Ayurvedic formulas.
How to stop coronavirus:
1 HANDS: Wash them often
2 ELBOW: Cough into it
3 FACE: Don't touch it
4 SPACE: Keep a safe distance
5 HOME: Stay if you can
FACT-CHECK
A viral infection can be transmitted from one individual to another in multiple ways.
1) Direct: From one individual to another individual either via means of touch or if the infected individual coughs or sneezes in close vicinity of another person.
2) Indirect: When an infected individual touches a surface, and another individual touches the same surface.
In the course of this blog, we will demonstrate that a 14-hour self-imposed curfew will not break the cycle of infection as the coronavirus persists 2-3 days later on surfaces. However, social lockdown is an effective strategy for reducing new infections that flattens the curve.
The longevity of the virus was determined by studying the decay time or half-life of the virus, which is the time it takes for it to reduce in 50% tissue-culture infectious dose (TCID50) per liter of air. It was determined that the virus stayed on cardboard, stainless steel and plastic for the longest period, in comparison to copper and aerosol droplets.
On average, the half-life of the virus on the plastic surface was the highest, with an average of 15.9 hours (high 19.2 hours), copper was lower 3.4 hours (high 5.11 hours), and stainless steel was 13.1 hours (high 16.1 hours). No research was conducted on fabric at all.
CONCLUSION
Hence, a 14-hour self-imposed curfew cannot break the cycle of infection as it is being claimed on social media. Despite the fact that the curfew will not break the cycle of infection as the Coronavirus still persists 2-3 days later on surfaces, the social lockdown is an effective strategy for reducing new infections that ‘flattens the curve’
