Moisturizing or intranasal drops will help create the effect of a medical mask to protect against coronavirus for those who are going to a New Year’s corporate party, said RIA News infectious disease doctor Evgeny Timakov. According to him, such drops form a biofilm on the nasal mucosa, which prevents the spread of the virus.
“Since we are unlikely to wear a mask at a corporate event, we can create the effect of its presence. There are various preparations that moisturize and envelop the nasal mucosa, which create a certain biofilm so that the virus does not spread in it, “Timakov explained.
The doctor emphasized that the most important thing is to prevent the mucous membrane from drying out. Moisturizing or intranasal drops should be used before a corporate party, then, upon returning home, rinse your nose with physiological and saline solutions, and then drip the drops.
The infectious disease specialist also noted that during the festivities, it is necessary to carefully monitor the cleanliness of the hands. According to the specialist, this will help reduce the amount of the virus entering the body.
“If you feel a runny nose, malaise, sore throat or some incomprehensible symptoms of fatigue, then you don’t need to go to a corporate office and infect others, because not all people are now immune to coronavirus, and it’s unlikely that everyone will be vaccinated at a festive evening. “, – said Timakov.
In turn, epidemiologist Anastasia Pakulaeva recalled that it is impossible to fully protect yourself from COVID-19 at a New Year’s corporate party. She advised adhering to the rules of personal hygiene, using antiseptic agents, not forgetting about personal protective equipment and choosing rooms with equipment for air disinfection for events.
Earlier it became known that the majority of Russian doctors do not believe that soon the incidence of coronavirus will significantly decrease. So, 42 percent of doctors said they expect a slight increase, and 29 percent – a significant increase.
