Can The Corona Virus Survive On Hair?

 Can The Corona Virus Survive On Hair?

Suppose you are queuing at a store, and the person behind you suddenly coughs or sneezes.  Now you may be wondering if the coronavirus has taken over your head.  Then you will think for good reason, not only should you wash your hands with soap when you get home, you should also wash your hair with shampoo.

 But can Covid-19 really survive on hair?  Or to put it more specifically, can the coronavirus reach someone's hair with some kind of jolt?

According to experts, this is not supposed to happen.

Any virus, including the SARS virus, can get into people's hair, but that doesn't mean that the virus in your hair makes you sick.  The coronavirus weakens very quickly when it is outside the body.

 In other words, the virus can get into your hair or something like that, but it's not strong enough to make you sick when it enters your body.  Of course, if you have a habit of chewing your hair, then it is different.  However, if you have this habit, leave it out.

Truth be told, there is not a single study so far that has at least proven that the coronavirus spreads from the hair.  It is also not proven how long it remains on the hair or beard.  Maybe a few days or a few hours.  So that doesn't mean shampooing your hair every time you come back from outside.  And just as it won't be realistic, it will also damage your hair.

Better to maintain social distance than to worry unnecessarily about your hair.  So if someone behind you sneezes or coughs, even if germs logically get into your hair, there is very little risk of spreading the infection.

Therefore, some experts say that it is better to maintain social distance than to worry unnecessarily about hair.  So if someone behind you sneezes or coughs, even if germs logically get into your hair, there is very little risk of spreading the infection.  Even scarier is the reason to go out and shake hands and not wash your hands or use sanitizer on time.  And if you touch the hair with that hand, the chances of germs getting into the hair are much higher.

It is practically impossible to get infected with the virus from your hair, because your hair, whether on your face or on your scalp, regularly receives a kind of layer of oil from your skin.

It is practically impossible to get infected with the virus from your hair, because your hair, whether on your face or scalp, regularly receives a kind of layer of oil from the skin.  This oily film makes it difficult for germs to settle on the hair.  In addition, the antimicrobial effect of this coating kills germs quickly.

So overall, there is nothing to worry about spreading the coronavirus from the hair.  But if you are still worried, you can take more baths or shampoo.  Children can do the same when they go to school or when they go out.

To reduce the spread of the virus, it is best to wear a mask every time you go out and avoid close contact with anyone outside the home.  Stay six feet or more from others when outdoors.  And, of course, wash your hands repeatedly;  But it will work even if you don't shampoo from the outside all the time.
