Do Paints Protect You From Viruses?

COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives. 91% of households are washing hands more often, and 41% of the same have bought new hygiene products like sanitisers, hand washes, and toilet cleaners. But as we all know, it is not enough to just wash your hands every hour. Microbes like viruses, germs, and bacteria can stay active on the surfaces around your house for hours, and even days in some cases. You thought you are unsafe just outdoors? Think again! Frequently-touched spots like doorknobs, plumbing fixtures, doors, and even walls are a host to several invisible bacteria and viruses. These bacteria and viruses are the causes of various health issues, right from common cold and fever to serious diseases. Kids come in contact with the walls while playing or drawing. It is very easy for the germs to transfer onto their bodies. And while playing or eating, these germs may get into their mouths and systems, making them sick. Likewise, older adults take the support of walls while walking and get bacteria and viruses on their body parts. In order to keep kids, older adults, and even pregnant women safe, you must take the necessary measures. After all, these people are more at a higher risk of falling sick often.
