美国疾病控制与预防中心和传染病医生提供的关于你的衣服是否会携带COVID-19的关键信息,以及你是否应该改变洗衣服的习惯。

随着新型冠状病毒的继续传播,人们正在采取越来越严格的预防措施,以确保他们的家庭环境没有病毒,他们的感染风险更低。我们都参与其中一丝不苟的洗手几周,但是如何洗别的东西,就像我们的衣服?

虽然疾病控制和预防中心美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)表示,这种新型冠状病毒通常通过呼吸道飞沫传播(来自受感染者打喷嚏或咳嗽),而不是通过被污染后可以传播病毒的物体和材料。CDC的指南还指出,病毒可能会存活数小时至数天表面由各种材料制成,包括服装。

而来自国家过敏和传染病研究所蒙大拿州的NIAID研究了这种新型冠状病毒在纸板、塑料和钢铁上能存活多久,我们还没有关于织物的信息。

“我怀疑你可以在衣服上发现病毒存活数小时,甚至一天的能力,”传染病马里兰州约翰·霍普金斯健康安全中心的资深学者、医学博士Amesh A. Adalja告诉我们健康。“这在很大程度上取决于环境条件——温度和湿度影响病毒的生长。”

Adalja博士表示,总的来说,他不认为衣服是新型冠状病毒的“主要传播媒介”。

但安全总比后悔好,对吧?那么,当你的衣服染上冠状病毒时,你能做些什么来降低暴露于冠状病毒的风险呢?

你应该多久洗一次衣服?

如果你家里没有人新冠病毒检测呈阳性或出现任何症状,你可以像往常一样清洗衣服。

但如果你在公共场所(比如商店),你周围的人就没有遵守疾控中心的社交距离指南(换句话说,与不住在你家里的人保持至少6英尺的距离),回家后用洗衣机洗你在外面穿的衣服可能是个好主意。

NIAID的研究表明,一些病毒在塑料和不锈钢上停留2到3天,在纸板上停留24小时,在铜上停留4小时。一些拉链、纽扣和其他衣物五金可能是用这些材料制成的,因此可能会把病毒带进你的家中。(同时,只是想说明一下,这里的指导方针是关于衬衫、裤子、裙子等,而不是像外套或鞋子这样的外套。)

那病人穿的衣服呢?

如果您家中的某人已确认或疑似Covid-19,则在洗衣服时必须采取额外的预防措施(以及他们与其接触的毛巾和床单)。

疾病预防控制中心建议在处理病人的脏衣服时戴上一次性手套,然后在使用后立即丢弃手套。脱下手套后马上洗手。如果你在洗脏衣服的时候没有戴手套,那一定要洗手。此外,不要抖脏衣服;否则你可能会把病毒散播出去。

应根据制造商的说明进行洗涤,并使用最热烈的适当设置来洗涤物品。疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病疾病委员会说,可以从其他人的服装那里清洗肮脏的洗衣店,因为洗涤剂中的洗衣服将杀死病毒。但是在与生病的人的物品接触后,应清洁和消毒套装。

美国化学理事会编制了一份产品清单,包括清洁剂,可用于对抗新出现的病毒病原体和COVID-19。(环境保护局还将列表放在一起可以用来对抗病毒的消毒剂。)

你能用手洗衣服吗?

目前还没有任何建议建议你不要在家里手洗衣服,但如果你使用洗衣机,你会得到更高的温度,而高温是美国疾病控制与预防中心机洗建议的一部分。

The virus that causes COVID-19 is called SARS-CoV-2, short for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. It is a type of coronavirus similar to the one that causes SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome.

你还能去自助洗衣店吗?

自助洗衣店仍然在美国各地开放,被认为是一项必不可少的业务,因为它们为那些家中没有洗涤设施的人提供了必要的服务。

然而,如果你真的去自助洗衣店或使用共享的洗衣设施,如公寓楼的洗衣间,遵守美国疾病控制与预防中心关于保持社交距离的指导方针以防止COVID-19的传播,这是至关重要的。既然我们现在知道病毒可以在表面上保持活跃几个小时(如果不是几天),采取一切可能的预防措施。

这意味着你应该戴手套,避免触摸你的脸,对你在自助洗衣店使用的机器表面进行消毒,以及洗你的手疾控中心的卫生指南如果你有洗手液当你在自助洗衣店的时候使用它,然后当你回家的时候用肥皂和水洗手。

请记住,洗手仍然是预防COVID-19传播的最重要步骤。所以,不要太沉迷于洗衣服而忘记了你的手。
