Persons with long nails are at more risk of contracting the deadly coronavirus, a British beauty and aesthetics expert Dr Elisabeth Dancey has warned.
The virus is spreading like wildfire across the world, with over 500,000 cases recorded with over 26,000 deaths while over 130,000 have recovered.
“Long nails, nail varnish and nail extensions have always been a no-no for anybody who needs spotlessly clean hands; nurses, doctors, therapists, cooks, mothers and carers.”
“Germs such as bacteria, fungi and viruses (including the Coronavirus) can harbour underneath the nail space and easily be transmitted to whatever you touch. Put simply, you cannot see the dirt that lies beneath.”
“Doctors know this and rigorously scrub under their nails before donning gloves and performing surgery; with a sterile nail brush and sanitising solution. We should now follow their example.”
