CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- During the epidemic period, wearing masks and washing hands frequently became our daily habits. With the resumption of work and production, office workers have a lot of questions. Will the hair be infected with viruses every day when they go out? Do they have to wash hair every time they go out? Will the shoe soles be infected with viruses?

Is there any need to wash hair every time you go back home?

According to Feng Luzhao, a researcher of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in general, the public does not need to wash their hair or disinfect after arriving home. Current studies show that viruses are sensitive to external environments such as ultraviolet and heat. In the outdoor, the probability of hair both sticking to a high concentration and having live virus droplets is very low, so just keep hair clean everyday.

Will clothes be virus-borne when you go home? Can alcohol be sprayed directly for disinfection?

Alcohol has no corrosive effect on ordinary clothing, but alcohol is a Class A flammable substance. If sprayed on clothing, it may catch fire when exposed to open fire, high temperatures or static electricity. It is not advised to spray alcohol on clothing.

According to experts, under normal circumstances, the coat does not need to be sterilized. After returning home, you can hang the coat at a ventilated area, and you can dry it in the sun if possible. There is no need to sterilize the coat in daily life.

If the coat may be contaminated, for example, when you go to hospital to see a doctor or visit a patient, or contact a person with suspicious symptoms, the coat needs to be cleaned and disinfected. If the clothes are resistant to high temperatures, you can put them in a washing machine and wash them in hot water at 56°C or higher for more than 30 minutes. For households with dryers, temperature should be adjusted to 80°C or higher after washing. If the fabric of the clothes is not resistant to high temperature, you can choose a commercially available sterilizing laundry detergent to wash the clothes.

Will the soles of your shoes carry virus when you go home?

It is also a matter of public concern. Experts said that the daily shoe soles do not need to be disinfected. After the droplets subside, the chance of the soles infected with the virus is very small and the amount is very small. Unless it is clear that there is pollution, it is not necessary to disinfect the soles of shoes everyday, just change shoes at the door of home.

Do cell phones need to be sterilized regularly?

During the epidemic, mobile phones should be disinfected regularly. The method is to turn off the power supply of the mobile phone, wipe all the surfaces of the mobile phone with 75% medical alcohol cotton ball or disinfectant wipes and dry them.

The exposure chance of the key is relatively small. If there is any stain, it can be wiped with clean water. If necessary, it can be wiped with disinfectant wipes or 75% medical alcohol. (Translated by Luo Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
