As he told the Interfax news agency, it is better to use antiseptics.
“The main route of transmission of the virus (90%) is airborne, and only 10% is the contact route, when we touch the surface where the virus remains with our hands, and then we touch the eyes, mouth ... From my point of view, a more effective way of fighting with the contact route of transmission of the virus - treatment of hands with skin antiseptics when entering and exiting public transport, ”he said.
As the specialist noted, an antiseptic is a more acceptable option for protection against coronavirus, since many do not know how to properly dispose of disposable gloves after use, and some use them repeatedly.
He also added that there are people who use cloth gloves and "they wear them all the time, just put them on and take them off for show."
According to Chulanov, wearing gloves of this kind only "creates additional risks of infection."
Earlier, the doctor of the highest category, candidate of medical sciences Vladimir Zaitsev, in an interview with Newinform, recalled the importance of wearing masks and gloves.
On October 18, Honored Doctor of Russia Alexander Karabinenko spoke about how to protect yourself from COVID-19 coronavirus infection in winter.
According to him, in winter it is necessary not to forget about the mask and gloves.
