“Most UV disinfection systems use germicidal lamps that emit UV C (UVC) radiation around 254 nanometers (nm). However, it is well known that 254 nm UVC is harmful to the skin and eyes, ”the work indicated.
Its authors assured that 222 nm UVC light, belonging to far UVC (207-222 nm), has the same highly effective germicidal properties as 254 nm UVC; but it is less harmful to eyes and skin.
Previous studies concluded that low UVC doses of 222nm inactivated aerosolized H1N1 influenza virus and human coronaviruses alpha HCoV-229E and beta HCoV-OC43.
The authors of this new work also mentioned that UV disinfection in SARS-CoV-2, the effect of 222 nm UVC on SARS-CoV-2 is poorly understood; so they decided to check it out. The results showed that SARS-CoV-2 was reduced by 99.7%, to undetectable levels, after just 30 seconds of exposure.
“Our results suggest that this technology could be used for the prevention and control of Covid-19 infections not only in unoccupied spaces but also in occupied spaces.”, He concluded.
In Potenza, sanitation has been prepared. Tellers replaced
(ANSA) – POTENZA, SEPTEMBER 19 – A local president received the communication that she was positive for the coronavirus shortly after taking office: it happened in the afternoon in Potenza, in the Busciolano middle school. After receiving the communication, the woman immediately left the school, in the Santa Maria district of the Lucanian capital. The tellers will also be replaced. For the school – where there are four seats – sanitation has been prepared. (HANDLE).
We know more about the start of the 2020 school year. After consultations, at the beginning of July, with the Ministry of Health and the High Council of Public Health, the National Education published on Wednesday a text which updates the protocol of the start of June 22 for schools, colleges and high schools. Some points are lightened, others reinforced, and details have been removed to allow more flexibility to institutions. The Ministry of Higher Education for its part published a circular on Thursday, concerning the start of the academic year. It specifies in particular the places where the wearing of the mask is obligatory within the universities, and the measures of social distancing which they are required to respect.
Social distancing and pragmatism
No big change for the rules of physical distancing: in outdoor spaces, students can continue to approach each other, but this time mingling between different classes. In enclosed spaces such as the classroom, canteen or boarding school, establishments must continue to arrange the premises to space occupants at least one meter apart. But when that is not possible, as in many full classes, “Physical distancing is no longer compulsory”. All students are therefore invited to return to class.
In return, students over eleven years old must wear the mask in any enclosed and outdoor space under two conditions that join those of municipalities. increasingly imposing the mask outdoors : when the pupils are moving and when the distance of one meter is not guaranteed, for example when they are placed face to face or side by side. In short, a lot of the time, in most rooms.
However, the text does not deal with meals, when the guests obviously cannot wear a mask. However, physical distancing is no longer mandatory. Contacted, the ministry indicates to return soon on this point.
More flexibility for the little ones
For the youngest, the mask is not recommended, or even prohibited for children in kindergarten. Children can still have access to balls, various games and common equipment, but the new text removes the mention of their daily disinfection or the isolation of objects for 24 hours.
As for teachers, they still do not have to wear a mask in class when they are at least one meter from their students. New: kindergarten staff are totally exempted during their course.
Higher education: “recommendations”
On the higher education side, a circular published Thursday requires the wearing of a mask in the library and recommends it “Strongly” in the classroom, “Even when physical distancing is respected”. Distancing is mandatory, which implies having fewer students per room … when universities expect a flood of new arrivals at the start of the school year. The gauge of the amphitheatres will have to “To be adapted”. Understand: establishments are invited to extend their hours or alternate distance and face-to-face lessons to depopulate the amphitheatres. To avoid dropping out, the Minister, Frédérique Vidal, asks to privilege “as much as possible” the face-to-face.
EMERCOM of Russia from the beginning of April disinfected more than 3.5 thousand medical institutions, 2.7 thousand educational institutions and 15.7 thousand objects of social service. It is reported TASS with reference to the press service of the Ministry.
In addition, MCHS handled 31.4 thousand buildings and structures of transport infrastructure, 6 thousand km of roads and more than 90 thousand units of equipment, said the Ministry.
Thorough disinfection is carried out on large transport objects. So, in Moscow and St. Petersburg several times treated railway stations.
Peskov said about the disinfection tunnels in the Kremlin
Previously, the Moscow Department of transport has published the order according to which taxi operators in Moscow should ensure disinfection of the vehicle after each assignment. Also operators were obliged daily to clean and disinfect the machine on specialized items and ensure drivers disposable masks, gloves, disinfectants and antiseptics for the hands.
Nadezhda Babkina on May 9 will certainly perform Victory songs. This time thousands of spectators will not applaud her – we celebrate the main holiday in self-isolation mode. And Nadezhda Georgievna herself is recovering after a serious illness, therefore she saves herself – there will be concerts, but later. But “Victory Day” will certainly sound in the house of the national artist. We tell how Babkina regains her health after being discharged from the hospital.
Recall that Nadezhda Georgievna was hospitalized with pneumonia, for almost a month we were worried about her health. The treatment required the introduction of an artist into a coma, Babkina coped, doctors saved the life of Nadezhda Georgievna – and now she is already at home. The situation was very serious. Nadezhda Babkina told about the course of the disease in Let They Talk, immediately after hospitalization and computed tomography of her lungs, she was transferred to intensive care:
“About 80% of the lungs were affected … Everything covered with film and dragged on: it’s such an infection, it manifests itself very quickly and starts working …” Later, the artist found out that at some point the situation became very serious: “The question was acute at the time the kidneys stopped working. Why? Details did not tell me. Probably it was scary, there were a lot of problems with me … “
Before discharge, CT showed that lung damage, according to the singer, decreased to 40%. Now Nadezhda Georgievna is not in a Moscow apartment, but in her country house in the suburbs. Therefore, she goes to special Lapino hospital for special physiotherapeutic procedures to restore lung function and rehabilitation. At discharge, the artist was prescribed home recovery (for 20 days): pills, injections – the artist tells her colleagues what she can do herself. Doctors ordered Babkin to do breathing exercises.
Nadezhda Georgievna says that the exercises are not easy, they are dizzy after them, but the artist is not lazy: she does it every day, because it’s important for the profession to restore the lungs as soon as possible. “Since we are singing, I have light accordions (squeezed – unclenched),” Babkina communicates with her colleagues and friends over the telephone — her voice is normal.
Nadezhda Babkina walks a lot – she lives in a country house (the singer was taken to the hospital from her Moscow apartment), and she came to rehab for fresh air outside Moscow. The actress is accompanied by a nurse Allochka – now the first assistant to Nadezhda Georgievna. “A beautiful little girl, Allochka, looked after me in the hospital, as though she was young, and hands like sledgehammers — I think all four will fall down. And she dragged me. From the bed to the toilet (I couldn’t walk). And – night is not night, she just lived with me, ”Babkina got used to her nurse. And Allochka went to her house – to help recover.
She goes to physiotherapy with her son, and Assistant Allochka is always nearby at home. Civilian husband Yevgeny Gor also raises spirits – he and his Hope have been 17 years old.
“He protects me, worships!” – the artist praises her Zhenya. There is something to praise – Gore kept the defense of journalists for a month: not a single interview or comment on Babkina’s health until she wrote out. Immediately after Nadezhda’s discharge, Eugene breathed a sigh of relief, and even cut himself off for joy! The precautions for self-isolation in this family are followed very strictly. Now Babkina even before washing her hands washes: he touches his face only with clean hands.

The house has a special lamp that disinfects the air. The device for air disinfection in the rooms of Babkina was presented for an anniversary – even before the illness. Now come in handy! In March, Nadezhda Georgievna celebrated her 70th birthday; she is going to celebrate lavishly in the fall, when they are allowed to hold events. For the anniversary, the singer lost 23 kg in three and a half months: food was delivered to her ready diet. And in the hospital she dropped it again: I didn’t want to eat. Now she eats fully: as she began to recover she suddenly wanted sauerkraut.
Nadezhda Georgievna is not bored at home: the collective of her theater “Russian Song”, like all artists on self-isolation, but Babkina is engaged in current affairs, in touch with her employees. In the hospital, I didn’t communicate with anyone from friends: only with relatives, and when I got better, I watched TV. But now it receives calls and congratulations, we can say that with a second birth. Babkina says that she gave herself the command not to be afraid, to completely trust the doctors as soon as I entered the hospital: “When I looked in my eyes Shapovalenko Tatyana Vladimirov (the chief physician of the Medsi Design Bureau in Otradnoye – approx. Aut.) said that I believe you – my life is in your hands. ”
Recovery will not be quick – this artist understands, does not deny: no one knows yet – what consequences can be after an illness. But now there is more good news: according to the results of the analyzes, the doctors said that the immune system is restored.

The barracks have been closed since last Thursday, when a police officer tested COVID-19 positive. At that time, 41 police officers stationed at the barracks and at the Office for the Protection of Victims of Gender Violence were quickly tested, 7 of whom tested positive.
“As I anticipated last Thursday when I ordered the preventive closure of the barracks, the disinfection work was carried out today,” said the mayor.

“I ordered the preventive closure of the headquarters of the Traffic Division of our Municipal Police to protect our agents from the spread of Covid-19. In addition to the disinfection of this barracks, the facilities of the Office for the Protection of Victims of Violence were also disinfected Gender, “he explained.
The duties of the Division officers were reassigned between three barracks, and a specialized unit from the command center.
Meanwhile, the mayor assured that the services of the Office for the Protection of Victims of Gender Violence have not been interrupted, and called for the rules to prevent contagion.
“The health of our staff and of the entire town of Guaynabo is our highest priority at this time. All of our efforts are directed at managing this emergency, with the safety of all employees providing essential service to the residents of Guaynabo as a guide. “said Pérez Otero.
“The way in which we will get out of this quarantine soon, is that we all stay in our homes. The exits must be only for emergencies. We request cooperation from our residents and solidarity for our comrades who are on the front lines of struggle, serving and protecting us all, “he concluded.
The number of patients with coronavirus in the Samara region since the beginning of April has grown by three people. It’s really a bit, but the situation around is more like preparing for combat action. New infectious beds are constantly being prepared in the region, doctors are being trained, hospitals are being re-equipped. Residents perplexed: “More patients? They don’t tell any information? ” In fact, there is no need to look for a dirty trick: citizens are honestly told about how the situation is developing. But what comes next is difficult to predict. Associate Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Samara State Medical University, Chief Specialist of the Ministry of Health of the Samara Region on the Problems of Diagnosis and Treatment of HIV Infection, Infectious Disease Doctor with 30 Years of Experience Elena Strebkova now helps to organize an infectious diseases hospital at the hospital named after Midpoint “There are no patients here, but who knows if they will appear tomorrow.” She told in an exclusive interview to a journalist “KP–Samara”, Why the whole branch of medicine is working so hard today, although the numbers of cases and the inhabitants seem low, are Samara residents at risk of picking up a coronavirus and why is COVID-19 more dangerous than“ ordinary flu ”.
– Elena Alekseevna, why is such mass training, reprofiling of hospitals necessary?
– The measures taken by the government of the country and the region, and now allow us to prevent a surge in incidence. If not for them, we would be faced with a situation that is now happening around the world. Thanks to the measures taken for isolation and sanitation, a large number of cases of infection do not appear. This is done so that all our medical organizations have time to prepare. We see that new cases of infection and new cases appear daily, and we must be prepared to provide highly qualified medical assistance to the residents of the region. Like all my colleagues, we will be happy if we do not have to. But we must be prepared.
– How are hospitals preparing to receive coronavirus patients, what is the peculiarity of interacting with such patients?
– Infectious diseases that we usually deal with in the Samara Region are caused by microorganisms that do not require special preparation from a doctor. And COVID-19 is a particularly dangerous infection. Therefore, all protective measures in hospitals converted to infectious hospitals, for example, in SOKB named after V.D. Seredavina, taken for this class of pathogenicity. For this, doctors put on protective suits, masks, goggles – a person must be fully protected, because even small aerosol drops that remain in the air after coughing or sneezing can get on it and then lead to infection.
– How are doctors trained to resist the coronavirus?
– Doctors at hospitals that are converting to infectious hospitals are currently undergoing training. First of all, they are taught to wear and take off protective clothing correctly. Because the physician must first protect himself from infection, otherwise there will be no one to help people.
In addition, doctors are told how the virus is transmitted and how to protect themselves; they explain all the rules for disinfection. Of course, we study the clinical forms of the disease, how it manifests itself, what supporting signs of coronavirus infection, what indicators you need to pay attention to in order to make a diagnosis and assess the severity of the patient.
Why is it important now to stay at home.Why is it important to stay at home during coronavirus? That’s what the doctors say about it
– And as for lung ventilation, for example? Is she taught to do it?
– Naturally, such a huge number of resuscitators, infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, which may be needed in case of a surge in incidence, is not in the healthcare system. Therefore, if necessary, infectious disease specialists and pulmonologists will work as consultants. One infectious disease specialist and pulmonologist per 100 patients – this will be quite hard work.
Under their guidance, doctors of all other specialties, after training, will be able to work with such patients. But the main burden will fall on resuscitators. Here, one resuscitator with two nurses will work for six people. Although basic training in mechanical ventilation and resuscitation will still pass all the doctors. For example, the staff of Seredavin Hospital is almost completing such training.
– How large, in your opinion, is an infectious disease specialist with 30 years of experience in the likelihood of a scenario when 100 coronavirus patients fall on one pulmonologist?
– We all want to hope that this probability is low, but we should always be prepared for this. It’s impossible to deploy an infectious diseases hospital in a hospital that was not intended for this; deploying such a huge number of resuscitation beds is impossible. The preparations that are currently underway will allow us to avoid the so-called “Italian scenario” – the very help that is needed will be immediately provided to the patients. IN Italy such a difficult situation was due to the large number of patients at the same time. Quarantine was announced late in the country; the healthcare system was not ready for such an arrival of patients who need ventilation support. In our country, the health system managed to prepare.
– Explain why we have so few patients and how relevant is self-isolation in this situation?
– These are the rules for the development of the epidemic. Why in Moscow so many sick? Not only because there are more people. But also because people from different countries flocked there and only then were distributed among the regions. Therefore, a huge number of sources of infection fell precisely in the capital. Naturally, there is the largest percentage of cases. But people from Moscow came here, and now the virus is spreading here. And now it doesn’t have to be contact with a person who came from abroad. This may be contact with a person who has not left the territory of the Samara region, who himself does not suspect that he is a source of infection.
The virus already exists in the urban environment, and it was for this reason that self-isolation measures were taken to protect people from each other. The closer we are to each other, the greater the likelihood of becoming infected, and the biggest danger is that this will happen at the same time, giving a greater burden on the health system.
“How can the virus spread if we all sit at home?”
– Let’s really look at things. You are not sitting at home. Anyway, you go to the store, to the pharmacy, where to whatever. The main distribution path is through door handles, through the buttons of elevators, in contact with trolleys in stores. These are transmission routes that no one has canceled. And with close contact at a distance of less than two meters, infection from person to person is also possible.
– They say that coronavirus is less dangerous than ordinary flu, it has less mortality, there is no reason for panic?
Coronavirus prevention: 10 tips by Gennady Onishchenko.“The epidemic will end soon and we will return to a happy life,” Gennady Onishchenko reassures. And for the prevention of coronavirus, he gives the Russians 10 simple tips
– Mortality from influenza was also quite high until the moment of mass vaccination. Now vaccination saves us from a large number of deaths with the flu. And we expect the appearance of a coronavirus vaccine only by the end of the year. Therefore, people are not protected. And since the virus is new, it first appeared this year, we have no immunity. And since no one has immunity, there is no layer that would restrain the explosive nature of the epidemic. Explosive is when several thousand cases appear at one moment. According to some experts, the main surge in the incidence may occur next week. The medical system must be prepared for this.
– In social networks, KP-Samara asked readers why, in their opinion, in the Samara region such a low incidence of coronavirus. It turned out that most are sure: we just have little testing for coronavirus. How do you rate coronavirus testing in the region? Are they enough?
– We test as much as necessary, except Rospotrebnadzor A laboratory has been deployed at the AIDS Center. They test those who came from abroad and are in quarantine, all patients with pneumonia, with severe forms of acute respiratory infections, pregnant women – volumes are large.
“And the main question that worries everyone is when will it all end?”
– So far, the measures taken are designed for the next three months. But we will all be happy if everything ends earlier.

Cleaning of streets as prevention of new infections has been assigned among the tasks of this specialized team. But, in addition to the use of traditional tools, they have carried out the first tests with drones, as reported in a release the security force, to “be more effective”. One of the units that is working in this field is the Transmission Battalion (BTUME). To achieve this, the UME has received in recent weeks two drones on loan from two companies in the sector, Stock RC and DroneTools, which have joined to its list of teams already deployed so far.
But to incorporate it as a useful tool, some changes have had to be made in the original design because, according to the unit, these are drones prepared for the agricultural sector (fields, forests and large areas). Specifically, it is a drone of the Chinese giant DJI, the model Agras-MG1, belonging to the firm Stock RC, and a second model, Hexa XL Drone provided by the manufacturer DroneTools. What is the dynamics of use? The unit began at the end of March to conduct misting tests on an open field and a vehicle at a height of approximately three meters, obtaining “satisfactory results”.
After the first phase of testingThe EMU has used it outdoors and for large objects of urban furniture, understanding that “they can be useful for the disinfection tasks” that are being carried out within the framework of Operation «Balmis». These drones have a capacity of 10 liters of payload, so in standard use, they could spray approximately half a hectare (the case of the Agras-MG1 model) and one hectare (Drone Hexa XL) with a single battery charge. , estimated at about 15 minutes of autonomy. “Spain has become the first European country to use agricultural drones to contain pandemics,” he defended in a release the DJI company.

The health agency expects to be able to provide up to 3,000 masks of type FFP2 and FFP3, with and without a valve, for reuse. The cleaning process meets “the criteria of the reprocessing of medical products”.
The containers in which the masks would be delivered were first given a wipe disinfection and then went through a sterilization process. “Only then are the masks checked for reusability, sorted out if necessary and then every single mask repackaged,” it said.
