Coronavirus Stays Alive For A Short Time On Clothes And Paper

Coronavirus stays alive for a short time on clothes and paper, according to IIT scientists, know how much remains alive: Positive India.

Scientists at IIT Mumbai have been successful in solving a major mystery involving the coronavirus. They have found out on which surface the coronavirus lives longer and on which surface less.

Not only this, but they have also given the reason why the coronavirus is alive on any surface. Scientists say that this research will work on one side where people will get relief from the fear of corona.

At the same time, this conclusion on a scientific basis can prove to be effective in making many policies.

Professor Rajneesh Bhardwaj of IIT Mumbai said that research has revealed that the virus remains alive for a short time on the Porous surface (porous surface), such as paper and clothing.

The virus remains alive on these surfaces for a few hours. At the same time, viruses in glass, stainless steel, and plastic remain alive for four, seven, and seven days respectively.

The virus survives on paper for less than three hours. This virus survives in clothes for two days. Rajneesh Bhardwaj said that the droplets dry quickly, but a thin film (light layer of water) survives in it.

This water layer does not dry quickly, which makes the virus susceptible to survival. This thin film is not visible to the eye.

It was a mystery case where it appeared that the droplets dried up in a few minutes or seconds, but the virus survived. In such a case, a light layer of water has settled the matter. For this, we used computer simulation.

IIT Mumbai Professor Rajneesh Bhardwaj said that the droplet spreads due to the rapid elimination of the virus in Porus surfaces such as paper, clothes. Because of this, its evaporation occurs rapidly.

At the same time, evaporation occurs in glass, stainless steel, etc.

IIT Bombay Professor Rajneesh Bhardwaj said that we have done research on liquid layers with nanometer. It sticks to a certain type of force on the surface, so the corona survives for hours on this surface.

According to him, the thin layer model suggests that a thin layer is present on any surface and its drying determines how long the virus will stay on it.

These suggestions

-Glass, covering of laminate wood with porous material such as cloth or paper, reduces the risk of transmission to the surface of the virus.

Keeping this in mind, work can be done in the use of furniture and accessories in offices and hospitals.

Use of goods in parks, shopping malls, restaurants, railways and airports can also be done by keeping in mind how long the virus remains in which material.

Scientists have suggested that since notebooks are exchanged in schools and currency in banks. In such a situation, a policy can be made keeping these things in mind here too.
