Use Non-Dominant Hand & Avoid Infection
Pandemic and its effects
With the onset of this pandemic, many new findings are getting out in the world owing to the research being done. Many of these are fake and illogical ones, which get spread due to WhatsApp and other social media platforms. But, many of these findings are real, and maybe they won’t provide a reliable and permanent solution but can avoid the rate of spreading it.
Practically, it’s impossible to keep hands off your face. We sometimes touch our face subconsciously and sometimes due to itching, sneeze etc.
And if we are advised not to do it, our mind goes into that same direction and challenges us in it. But, whatever is the case, keeping our hands off the face is a very important thing because Coronavirus is highly spreadable due to these activities.
Shaking hands, itching the face, nose and then touching the mouth would prove dangerous as the virus gets a straightforward path to enter our body and create chaos. Thus, in order to get this human dilemma of ‘touching’ gets solved, a finding has been done which proves effective, at least for now.
The use of Non-Dominant hand
It’s the use of the non-dominant hand, for doing all the activities like touching the lift buttons, doorknobs, handing over money to someone, opening a door, using public services like the fuel pump, ATMs etc. But, why?
This is because, normally people work more with their dominant hand and do all the activities in it. For example, the dominant hand for righty people is their right hand while the left hand is the non-dominant hand.
If we somehow, control ourselves to using the non-dominant hand in doing all these activities, we can be a bit safer than now.
This finding first came out in South Korea, then it became famous everywhere, due to the necessity and it looked more logical than any other present solutions. This solution became famous all-around and is followed by people. It was also tweeted by the Dubai police on March 24th and advised to do it.
Some People are Against it
There’s nothing much proven in the favor of this finding but according to the Spanish Society of Preventive Medicine, Public Health and Hygiene, it is still recommended to pay attention to the things which are being done consciously and take necessary care to avoid touching the face, mouth unnecessarily. They still say that washing and cleaning your hands regularly with a simple soap or any alcohol-based liquid would provide a great deal of protection and is a wonderful way of prevention.
But, whatever someone may say, it is still suggested to avoid contact with people and stay-at-home and reduce the minimal risks to this pandemic which can get even worse if we lack in keeping ourselves safe from simple things like touching face as this virus is very contagious and that’s the reason doctors have to wear so many layers of PPE (personal protective equipment) to avoid the contraction of it.
Staying safe in-home and following necessary sanitization are the only ways, one can slow the
speed of the spread of this pandemic.
