Epidemic fecal transmission
2020 was not an ordinary year. It was thought that the epidemic at the beginning of the year had basically begun to stabilize, but unexpectedly, the outbreak began again in Beijing in June. However, the epidemic in Beijing was still well controlled, not as severe as Wuhan. However, we must not underestimate this virus. As early as the first outbreak, some research has shown that some infected people can be infected through excrement. Such a transmission source makes us very anxious. So, is the toilet in our home, or each area with an anti-odor floor drain, a transmission channel? In fact, normal safety precautions cannot be neglected, but we should not be scared and tense, as this is not a good thing. Today, I will teach everyone some safety tips.
1: The daily use and cleaning of the toilet
When we use the toilet in our daily life, we must remember to cover the toilet lid after use and then flush the toilet. This can reduce the generation of bioaerosols, because if the lid is open during flushing, it may cause fine particles to float in the toilet, and since the toilet is a very dark and damp area, it is very easy to grow, thus quickly spreading to other spaces.
In addition, after using the toilet, remember to wash your hands with the seven-step hand washing method taught by the nurses, so that you can wash more cleanly.
2: When designing the anti-odor floor drain or the sewage pipeline of the toilet, we must remember to install a water trap. Firstly, the water trap can prevent the spread of excrement, secondly, it can also block some odors caused, which is a very good practice for our daily life, and can also reduce the spread of viruses.
3: How does the anti-odor floor drain prevent the spread of viruses? Since the residential buildings we move into have interconnected sewage pipelines, this is also why if there is a patient in a building, it is very easy to cause a possibility of mass illness. One way is to spread through the sewage pipeline of the anti-odor floor drain, having a water trap is a layer of protection. In addition, it is best to pour one liter of water into the anti-odor floor drain every 3 to 5 days, adding an appropriate amount of chlorine disinfectant to the water for disinfection, which can also prevent the spread of viruses.
4: Some second-hand houses may not have a clear design plan for the sewage pipeline, whether a water trap has been installed. So, I will teach everyone a way to check, which is to open the cover of the anti-odor floor drain, learn to put down a relatively dry stick, and then take it up, see if the stick is damp and cold. If it is damp and cold, it proves that there is a water trap.
