In a groundbreaking study, UK scientists have discovered that the transmission of COVID-19 within households is not limited to the air. They have found evidence that the virus can also be spread through contact with contaminated hands and surfaces. This means that just like a sticky finger on a handrail can transfer germs to someone else, touching an infected surface or person can lead to transmission of the virus. This research sheds light on the importance of hand hygiene and disinfection in preventing the spread of COVID-19. It suggests that frequent hand washing and regular cleaning of commonly touched surfaces may be crucial in reducing the risk of infection. While airborne transmission has been the primary focus, this study highlights the need for holistic prevention strategies to tackle all possible modes of COVID-19 transmission.
