You see a lot of translucent film on the buttons when you press the floor in an elevator these days? It's safer than 'antibacterial film', but I found it in SBS News to see if it's a really effective film.

This translucent film looks everywhere nowadays.

I couldn't press the button properly because of the Corona 19, but it was a little easier.

But the coronavirus dies with this thin film?

These films are made of plastic with copper, which is famous for its antibacterial effect.

[CEO of Mr. A / Film: E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pneumococcus, MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Antibacterial test) have all the test reports.]

Uh? So does the Corona19 virus kill it?

[A / President of Film Manufacturer: First we don't have any data. Killing a virus that kills a virus means that you have to do a test to kill the virus, but you don't have a virus test in Korea. (In our product) I don't use antiviral. (I didn't even use the seller).

Yes? Does it work or not?

In fact, it is said that the bacteria that are living organisms and viruses that are parasitic on living things have different methods of suppression.

[Eom, Joong-Sik / Professor of Infectious Medicine, Gil Hospital, Gachon University: Once there are bacteria, there are such (antibacterial) ingredients that prevent them from lasting long. However, the effect of preventing the virus from enduring for a long time is not sufficiently verified. Similar to the environment, the bacteria can not grow environment does not the virus to survive and grow, but you can not say completely the same.]

Recently that Corona 19 viral infectivity How long has the surface of various materials experiments, but also progress

more that you have the effect of this film type of product rather than the copper plate itself suppress the virus There are not many opinions that research is necessary.

In other words, antibacterial products do not stop all harmful things, such as the Corona19 virus.

Well, I can't be assured that there is a film.

[Eom Joong-Sik / Professor of Infectious Medicine, Gil Hospital, Gachon University: Wearing a mask is the most important part of corona. And hand hygiene, distance. These three are the most important.] The

Corona19 virus, which is still unfinished.

Rather than blindly believe in a specific product, don't forget the basic habit of restraining conversations in the elevator and washing your hands after pressing a button.
