What is COVID 19? The virus is not an living organism but a protein molecule consisting of DNA covered by a layer of lipid which can absorbed by all the cells such as nasal, mucosal, ocular and induces genetic mutation amongst the population. How does COVID 19 survive? The viral genome of corona virus is fragile and is protected by a layer of fat. The virus has the tendency to stay on surfaces for atleast 6-9 hours, also called as FOMITES. These are nothing but contaminated surfaces which cross infect other human beings. This virus has a pH of 5.5 to 8.5 That is why any soap or detergents is the best remedy to prevent this virus. By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own. Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% dissolves the fat, especially the external lipid layer of the virus. Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside. Oxygenated water helps long after
