NEW YORK, BRONX (ORDO News) — Japanese scientists are proposing new methods to reduce the risk of infection with coronavirus and other viral diseases.
Scientists have conducted research that may change the way we fight viruses and infections.
Their findings, published in the scientific publication Scientific Reports, offer several simple ways to reduce the risk of contracting various diseases, including coronavirus, influenza and SARS.
One of the most surprising findings from the study was holding your breath for five seconds after someone nearby sneezes. According to scientists, this can actually significantly reduce the likelihood of infection.
Moreover, this rule applies not only to coronavirus, but also to a number of other diseases, including monkeypox.
In addition to the five-second rule, the study also identified other methods to reduce risk.
For example, room ventilation has proven to be a key factor in preventing infection. Scientists recommend preferring places with good air circulation, as this reduces the likelihood of infection.
The study also confirmed the importance of distance between people. Pathogens released by sneezing or coughing can spread up to 90 centimeters. Therefore, maintaining a distance of at least one meter can be a decisive factor in preventing infection.
Scientists emphasize the importance of following simple rules and precautions to protect yourself and others from various diseases.
