Amamaski e-N-95 akuyona ukuphela kwento endiza isuka emashalofini ngenxa yokunyuka okuqhubekayo kwamacala e-COVID-19 coronavirus. Okubalulekile kwakamuva kuhlu lwezitolo olubonakala njengolwabantu bonke? I-sanitizer yezandla-futhi kangangoba izitolo zibhekene nokushoda, ngokusho I-New York Times.

Njengoba ithengiswa njenge-antiamagciwane futhi hhayi i-antiviral, ungahle uzibuze ukuthi ingabe i-sanitizer yesandla inamandla okubulala i-coronavirus esabekayo. Impendulo emfushane: yebo.

Kukhona inani eliqinile locwaningo elisekela iqiniso lokuthi i-sanitizer yesandla ingabulala amagciwane athile, futhi inendawo yokuvikela i-coronavirus, kusho uKathleen Winston, Ph.D., RN, umphathi wezobuhlengikazi e-University of Phoenix. Ocwaningweni olushicilelwe ku Ijenali Yezifo Ezithathelwanayo, i-sanitizer yezandla yayiphumelele ekubulaleni olunye uhlobo lwe-coronavirus, iMiddle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, phakathi kwamanye amagciwane.

Futhi uma udinga ukucaciseleka okuqhubekayo, vele ubheke iTikTok (yebo, ufunda lelo lungelo). Muva nje, i-World Health Organisation (i-WHO) ithathe uhlelo lokusebenza lwezokuxhumana yabelana ngezeluleko "ezinokwethenjelwa" zokuthi ungazivikela kanjani phakathi kwesifo i-coronavirus. "Hlanza izandla zakho kaningi ngokusebenzisa umkhiqizo ohlikihliwe ophuza utshwala njengejeli, noma ugeze izandla zakho ngensipho namanzi," kusho uBenedetta Allegranzi, ongumholi kwezobuchwepheshe ekuvimbeleni nasekulawuleni ukutheleleka, kule vidiyo. (Umm, ngicela uthathe umzuzwana ukuqonda ukuthi i-WHO ijoyine iTikTok? Odokotela bathatha uhlelo lokusebenza futhi.)

Ngenkathi i-sanitizer yezandla ingasiza, ukugeza izandla zakho ngensipho namanzi kusengukubheja kwakho okuhle kakhulu ngokugwema amagciwane. "Ezimweni zomphakathi lapho abantu bephatha ukudla, bedlala imidlalo, besebenza noma benza izinto zokuzilibazisa zangaphandle, izinto zokuhlanza izandla azisebenzi," kusho uWinston. "I-sanitizer yesandla ingasusa amanye amagciwane, kepha akuyona indawo yensipho namanzi." Kepha uma ungakwazi ukuthola i-H20 kanye nensipho, isibulali magciwane esisekelwe etshwaleni siwumzuzwana ophephile, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Igama elingukhiye "lisuselwa otshwaleni." Uma ukwazi ukuthambisa isitolo sezandla esithengwa esitolo, bobabili i-CDC neWinston bathi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi okungenani amaphesenti angama-60 utshwala bokuvikela kakhulu.

Khonamanjalo, i-Google isesha "ijeli yokuhlanza izandla eyenziwe ngezandla," sekukhuphukile, ngokungangabazeki ngoba izitolo bezithengiswa. Kepha ingabe ukuvikelwa kwe-DIY kungasebenza ngokulingana ne-coronavirus? Uma kunesidingo, uzenzele ijeli yesanitizer yesandla can umsebenzi, kodwa usengozini yokuqhamuka nefomula engasebenzi njengezinketho zokuhweba, kuchaza uWinston.

"Okukhathaza kakhulu iphesenti lotshwala," esho. "Unganciphisa ukusebenza kwe-sanitizer ngokungeza izithako eziningi ezifana namafutha abalulekile kanye nephunga elimnandi. Uma ubheka izinhlobo zentengiso ezisebenza kahle kakhulu, zinezithako ezincane." Uma uzimisele ukwenza ubuciko bokulwa namagciwane kanye nemisebenzi yezandla ngokuxuba owakho, qiniseka ukuthi utshwala benza ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-60 wevolumu yezithako ozisebenzisayo. (I-WHO ibuye ibe neresiphi yokuhlanza izandla ku-inthanethi — yize iyimishini enhle futhi inyathela kakhulu.)

Uma uthola ukuthi indawo yakho ishaywe ukushoda kwe-sanitizer ngesandla, noma kunjalo, qiniseka ukuthi ukugeza izandla zakho ngensipho namanzi kuyindlela engcono kakhulu.

Imininingwane ekule ndaba inembile njengesikhathi sokushicilela. Njengoba izibuyekezo ezimayelana ne-coronavirus COVID-19 ziqhubeka nokuvela, kungenzeka ukuthi eminye imininingwane nezincomo kule ndaba zishintshile selokhu kwashicilelwa okokuqala. Sikukhuthaza ukuthi uhlole njalo izinsiza ezifana ne-CDC, i-WHO, kanye nomnyango wezempilo womphakathi wendawo ukuze uthole imininingwane yakamuva nezincomo.
