The largest review of studies on transmission of Corona virus infection has found that maintaining a distance of at least one meter between people, putting masks, and protecting eyes is the best way to reduce the risk of Covid-19 disease caused by infection with the emerging virus. In a review of evidence compiled from 172 studies in 16 countries, the researchers concluded that frequent hand washing and hygiene are also critical factors, although all of these measures combined do not provide full protection. The findings, published by the Lancet medical journal the day before yesterday, will help guide governments and health agencies, after some have offered conflicting advice on preventive measures for reasons, most notably the availability of limited information on Covid-19. "Our findings are the first to collect all direct information about (COFED-19), acute respiratory infection (SARS), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)," said Holger Schonman, from McMaster University in Canada, who co-led the review. , And provides the best evidence currently available on the best use of these simple and common interventions to help flatten the curve. Current evidence indicates that the most common methods of spreading «Covid-19» are through droplet droplets, especially when people cough and the infection is transmitted, by entering droplets into the eyes, nose or mouth, either directly or through contaminated surfaces. For the purpose of this analysis, an international research team conducted a systematic review of 172 studies on spacing, masking and eye protection measures to prevent the transmission of three diseases caused by the Corona viruses, namely, Covid-19, SARS and MERS. Researchers pointed out that while the results are comprehensive, there are some deficiencies regarding the current pandemic, as most of the evidence comes from studies on "SARS" and "MERS". They added that the masks and means to cover the eyes may enhance prevention, although the evidence for this is less clear. Derek Chow, associate professor at McMaster University, who took part in the review, said people should understand that "applying a muzzle is not a substitute for social spacing, eye protection, or basic measures, such as hand hygiene."

The distance of two meters

The international research team found that the social divergence for a distance of at least one meter reduces the risk of "Covid-19" transmission, and that the distance of two meters can be more effective, stressing the need for constant caution even from people we have confidence in, because it is difficult to know what is known as the virus carrier Silent.

Holger Schonman:

"The results provide the best available evidence currently on the best use of simple and common interventions to help flatten the curve."

Derrick Chow:

"Gag placement is not a substitute for social spacing, eye protection, or basic measures, such as hand hygiene."

The most common diffusion methods are spray droplets.
