The spread of the Covid-19 epidemic was linked to people's circulation of many myths, so the WHO quickly disproved these myths so as not to negatively affect efforts to reduce the spread of this epidemic and answered some of the questions that concern people. Here is a correction of the most prominent, according to the "Future Observatory" of the "Dubai Future Foundation":
the heat
Exposure to direct sunlight, temperatures above 25 ° C, or being in wet weather areas does not protect against Covid-19 virus, as the risk of infection with Covid-19 virus continues even in hot and sunny weather.
Full recovery
Most people with HIV recover from it, and the virus disappears completely from their bodies. Therefore, if you are infected with the virus and suffer from minor symptoms, you can take medications to treat the symptoms, but in case you suffer from more severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing and fever, you should seek medical care early.
Breathing exercise
Stopping breathing for 10 seconds or more without coughing or feeling pain does not mean that you do not have Covid-19 or any other lung disease. Dry cough, fatigue and fever are the most common symptoms of Covid-19. Some patients may experience more severe complications such as pneumonia.
Insects
There is no evidence yet to prove that the Covid-19 virus is transmitted through mosquito bites. Because it is a respiratory virus that mainly transmits through the respiratory droplets that come out of the affected person’s mouth or nose, so we have to adhere to social spacing, reduce mixing and adhere to cough etiquette.
Dryers
Hand dryers do not affect Covid-19 virus. So washing hands with soap and water regularly is the best way to protect as mentioned earlier, and even UV sterilizers.
Not suitable and only causes irritation and damage to the skin.
Thermal camera
Thermal cameras help detect people with fever due to infection with the Covid-19 virus or other infections, but people who are infected with the virus during the incubation period do not show any symptoms and therefore these cameras will not be able to detect them. Also, spraying alcohol or chlorine on the body does not kill the Covid-19 virus that is already inside the body. Alcohol and disinfectants useful exclusively for sterilizing surfaces should be in accordance with health guidelines.
the Garlic
Garlic is a healthy food with some antimicrobial properties, but there is no evidence yet that eating garlic can prevent Covid-19 infection based on current pandemic data.
It affects everyone
All age groups are at risk of contracting Covid-19 virus. But the risk of infection increases in the elderly and people who suffer from chronic diseases, such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease.
Biomarkers
Antibiotics work mainly against bacteria and do not affect viruses. So you should avoid taking antibiotics and other drugs without consulting your doctor. Antibiotics may be used to treat people infected with Covid-19 virus in hospitals if they suffer from bacterial infection associated with infection with the virus.
