“Dr. Anan” pointed out the findings of the species “Omicron” Sticks on 3 types of surfaces, stainless steel, plastic, glass for up to 7 days longer than the original species, while reiterating the wearing of a mask. This will help reduce the amount of discharge.
On March 12, 2022, Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana, Biotech virologist, NSTDA, posted a message via Facebook. Anan Jongkaewwattana He said that the results of this experiment from a research team in Hong Kong are interesting. Compare the stability of the virus. (the ability of the virus to infect) on different surfaces between the omikron and the original species The results showed that both strains of the virus lost their infection to some degree (regarding 10 times) almost as soon as they were outside the body and settled on surfaces.
but following You can see the differences between the species. The omicron tends to stay on at least three surfaces, stainless steel, plastic and glass, longer than the original species. The omikron appeared to be stable on all three surfaces for up to 7 days in the humidity and temperature conditions under this experiment. But on the paper surface, viruses deteriorate more quickly and don’t last as long.
The trials did not compare airborne viruses or aerosol, with the possibility that omikron may remain in the air for longer. This may explain the virus’s ability to spread quickly and rapidly. The remarks are In this study, aerosol doses of 5 µl were used, which is much larger than that of natural aerosols. The amount of virus used is quite high. The virulence of the virus is approximately 10 times following binding to the surface. It may make the droplets that are small in real conditions can reduce the infected virus until it can’t continue. depending on the conditions of the aerosol released
Also, the amount of virus that comes out of an infected person is usually not as high as in the experiment. Wearing a mask will help reduce the amount of discharge further. All these factors may need to be considered in order to assess the risks. but frequent hand washing It’s probably necessary.
