A number of scientists stressed that staying in well-ventilated areas could prevent infection with the “new corona” virus that has caused hundreds of deaths in China and infected thousands in a number of countries in the world.
Research, conducted by a number of health experts at the Ministry of Health in Singapore, showed that breathing fresh air and using fans reduces the chances of contracting the Corona virus.
For his part, “Tan Chor Chuan,” the chief health scientist at the Ministry of Health in Singapore, said that Equatorial Singapore is less suitable for developing viruses due to hot and tropical weather, explaining that the possibility of continued viral persistence in the open air is less, noting the prevailing use of air conditioners in Singapore.
Chuan added that there is a lot of research that has been done to ensure the period of stability of viruses on the surfaces after the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003.
The Singapore Straits Times newspaper quoted Professor Chuan as saying that “most studies indicate that viruses do not survive well in hot and humid environments, which means that temperatures rise above 30 degrees Celsius and humidity of 80 percent does not help On the growth and growth of these viruses, ”explaining that the SARS virus belongs to the same family of the Corona virus, which has entered some countries of the world from the Chinese city of Wuhan.
According to medical reports published by the Singapore Straits Times, there have been about 45 cases of infection with the Corona virus so far in Singapore.
The newspaper quoted “Wang Linfa”, director of the Emerging Infectious Diseases Program at the Duke School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore, confirming that the sun and ultraviolet rays from the sun have the ability to kill the virus, saying “if you can stay in the sun For a while, that would be fine. Vitamin D can also boost the immune system. ”
