Muscat: Are hand dryers (available in public toilets, for example) effective in eliminating the emerging coronavirus within 30 seconds?
A statement issued online by the World Health Organization ( WHO ), said: " We would confirm that hand dryers are not effective in eliminating the emerging coronavirus."
"To protect yourself from the new virus, you should always clean your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol disinfectant or washing them with soap and soap. After cleaning hands, they should be thoroughly dried with paper tissues or hot air dryers." the statement added.
