Hand washing is one of the most effective ways to avoid illness. Here's what you need to know.
Our understanding of the current coronavirus, known as COVID-19, is still developing. But scientists have learned that the virus lives in mucus and saliva, and most likely spreads when people cough or sneeze. Infected bodily fluids can land on another person or a surface, such as a doorknob. When healthy people get the virus on their hands and then touch their noses or mouths, they become infected.
Scientists have also learned that the virus that causes COVID-19 is an “enveloped virus,” which means it has a fatty coating that helps it to survive. Lathering with soap, scrubbing and then rinsing your hands not only physically removes the virus from your skin, but soap also breaks up the envelope surrounding the virus, essentially disabling it.are somewhat effective because they can help to change the envelope’s chemical properties and potentially destroy the virus.

Prison Inmates in New York Are Manufacturing Hand Sanitizer, But Can't Use AnyOn Monday morning New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a new brand of hand sanitizer called NYS Clean, which would be manufactured in the state as a way to combat price gouging as a result of COVID-19 panic. The company making the sanitizer, according to Cuomo’s press conference, is Corcraft. By mid-morning, Gothamist had reported on the business: “Corcraft is the brand name for the Division of Correctional Industries, a state-owned company operated by the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS), which runs New York’s prisons.” Adding to the insult, because of the high alcohol content in this and most sanitizers, the incarcerated people at Great Meadow Correctional Facility who will manufacture the product will not even be allowed to use it to protect themselves from the spread of the virus. Not only that, they are being paid less than a dollar per hour to create a high-demand product that Corcraft will turn for a profit.
