Wooden surfaces can help in fight against spread of coronavirus
The survival of viruses on wooden surfaces is studied in a project started last summer by the universities of Eastern Finland and Jyväskylä. The first tests would seem to indicate, among other things, that the contagiousness of coronaviruses decreases much more rapidly on a wooden surface than on other materials, such as plastics. Paperboard and paper, too, appear to perform better than plastics against coronaviruses, though the viruses do survive longer on them than on wood. “This shows that there are good grounds for not using paper money during a virus epidemic and for maintaining good hand hygiene,” says Associate Professor Antti Haapala from the University of Eastern Finland. Plastic is not an ideal solution, either, so when paying with a card, the best methods are those that do not require the card to be passed from one person to another. Even then you should always...
