Good sanitation performs the first line of protection against the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19. A global danger is posed by viral epidemics or pandemics of acute respiratory infections such as Influenza or Serious Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Antiviral medications and vaccines may not be enough to prevent their spread. Use masks, sanitizers, and social distance will avoid many viruses from transmitting infectious diseases. Throughout this study, an exhaustive review was conducted to briefly summarize the different types of masks, hand sanitizers with their main active ingredients and action mechanisms, and social distancing for preventing and controlling of the spread of a virus-like COVID-19. This review shows the highest transmission rate before symptoms start and offers first proof of the effectiveness of mask use, infection control, and social distance in preventing COVID-19 and other viral respiratory diseases. Use of masks, sanitizers, and social distancing is part of a comprehensive collection of measures designed to prevent and control the spread of many viral respiratory diseases, including COVID-19. However, the use of a mask alone is inadequate to provide an appropriate degree of protection or control over the source, and further steps should also be taken at the personal and community level to avert respiratory virus transmission. Whether masks are being used or not, obedience with hand hygiene, physical distancing, and other infection control actions are important in stopping the transmission of spreadable diseases such as COVID-19 from humans to humans. |
