The Dhaka Times Desk Scientists in the United States are developing a type of mask capable of detecting the deadly novel coronavirus. This mask will identify the corona virus!
According to media reports, this novel mask can detect the presence of novel corona only if the breath, laugh or cough of a corona positive person is released.
Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists are trying to make a mask that will light up when a corona-positive person breathes, coughs or sneezes, creating a fluorescent signal. By this, it will be detected that the person using the mask is infected with corona.
Having succeeded in solving the threat of Zika and Ebola, this team of scientists is conducting various experiments to develop this new technology with the previous equipment to detect corona. If this is successful, it will be possible to easily solve the errors related to temperature testing along with screening for corona detection.
The member of the research team is the renowned synthetic biologist of the United States and MIT professor Dr. "We think this technology will be very useful when we get our transit system back up and running through airport security gates," Jim Collins said.
He said, 'Anyone will be able to detect corona using this technology before or after going to their workplace. It can also be used to pre-check who has been infected with the corona among the patients waiting in the hospital.'
Biologist Collins said his team had previously developed a sensor that changes from yellow to purple when the virus is present. So this time also he did not completely rule out the possibility of making color changing sensors.
It is known that the project to light up masks to detect corona is currently in the very initial stage. But the results are very promising. For weeks, the team has been testing the sensors' ability to detect the coronavirus in saliva samples, with success.
This new technology will be realized in the next few weeks and will be useful to the people. The famous synthetic biologist professor of the United States who led the research team also expressed hope. Jim Collins.
Things to do to prevent Corona virus
# stay at home all the time.
# Follow the rules and use mask when going out for emergency.
# three-layer surgical mask can be washed if desired.
# wash clothes after coming home from outside. Or hang it without shaking for at least four hours.
# Wash hands thoroughly (for at least 20 seconds) with soap or liquid before coming outside.
# plastic PPE or eyes, face, head must be washed thoroughly with detergent and dried after one use.
# Wear PPE made of cloth or clean as described.
# Use a head cap that completely covers the hair.
# Those who have sneeze cough should follow all the rules promulgated by the government. Also, wash hands as directed before and after handling food items, keys, switches, mice, remote controls, mobiles, watches, computer desks, TVs, etc. and after using the bathroom. Those who have dry hands use Moisture after washing their hands. Soap or hand liquid can be used. Why can this virus remain in the crackle (cracked part) of dry hands? Avoid using highly alkaline soaps or detergents.
