If a person who has been infected with the coronavirus before has used the elevator, you are also more likely to get sick. According to Radio1, this was reported by Rospotrebnadzor (Russia's Federal Service for Consumer Protection and Human Welfare). Scientists at the University of Portland have reportedly simulated the spread of the coronavirus through an elevator.
It was found that if the patient goes to the 10th floor and calls the next passenger elevator to the first floor, about 25% of such viruses remain in the air when the doors are opened and closed. That is, the next passenger will take a dangerous elevator. In addition, the viral aerosol in the patient's breath will accumulate on the buttons and other surfaces of the elevator. Therefore, to protect against the virus, you should only take the elevator in a mask and press the buttons with a napkin. In addition to elevators, the list of the most unexpected places for coronavirus infection includes subways, including escalators and carriages of old trains.
