▲ Health officials who turn a finger over the announcement page


The Washington Post (WP) reported Wednesday that videos of US politicians and health officials who have violated the rules for preventing new coronavirus infections (Corona 19) are spreading on social media.

While US health officials and politicians advised people to wash their hands frequently and not touch their faces to prevent corona infection and spread, they were inadvertently stroking their faces or spitting their hands.

Cerro Cody, head of health in Santa Clara County, California, made a major mistake at a press conference last month.

Less than a minute after he introduced the precautionary statement, "Don't touch the face with your hands," he unconsciously drooled his finger and handed over the announcement.

Since then, the video that captured him has been quickly disseminated via Twitter, and 4.5 million people have shared it, WP said.

Even the scene where Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at the forefront of Corona19 prevention, touched his nose during the meeting was captured.

Congressman Alexandria Okaccio-Cortes, a Democrat's strong-progressive politician, has also been on the cub.

Senator Okassio-Cortes responded to reporters' questions about Corona 19, saying, "If you keep touching your face without washing your hands, your mask will not protect you." Continued.

President Donald Trump joked on Monday after receiving a briefing from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the Corona 19 Prevention Rule that I haven't touched my face for a few weeks.

Twitter then disseminated Trump's claim and recently released a photo of Trump's face stroking.

WP said, "Touching your face is as natural as blinking your eyes, and since you are born, you have a habit of touching your face." Who would blame him?
