ABSTRACT
In Bangladesh, Government and private institutes have taken an integrated approach like cleaning programs and disinfecting surfaces of the environment in both the health and non-healthcare zone by using conventional disinfectants. Several compounds are widely used as disinfectants that contain hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, EDTA, chlorine dioxide, hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, bleaching powder solutions. In addition, quaternary ammonium, organic acid, alcohol, aldehyde, iodine, and several halogenated compounds have strong positive effects for several microorganisms. It was supposed to be that the use of disinfection is beneficial in preventing infectious diseases and they assumed that several compounds like phenolic, chlorine, and ethanoic products inhibit transmission of rhinoviruses and rotavirus from stainless steel disks to finger pads. The combination of disinfectants during preparation and use causes respiratory irritation and can release potentially lethal gases, especially wheamalgamated with hypochlorite solution. Besides, to destroy SARS-CoV-2, spraying on porous surfaces, such as unpaved walkways and sidewalks was less effective. Streets and sidewalks are not known as infection reservoirs for COVID-19 and it can be unsafe for human health to spray disinfectants, even outdoors. Researchers were highlighted significant adverse health effects, even deaths that may occur after the consumption of methanol-containing hand sanitiser. Burn injuries and death occurred due to unconscious handling of flammable hand sanitizer followed by lighting a cigarette. Due to having the enormous noxious effect of spraying disinfectants, it should be wise to wash hands, use face mask, and maintain personal distance rather than use disinfectants tunnels and air spray to prevent SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission among peoples.
ABSTRACT
In the 21st century, any pandemic, especially, SARS-CoV-2 is a global burden due to high incidence, mortality, and mutation rate. Although several techniques have already been identified to control the pandemic or treat patients and causes of adverse impact on mental health, relatively only, fewer researchers have little concern about finding effective mitigation strategies to improve mental health. Therefore, this study aimed to find some common and unique approaches to manage mental health during a pandemic. Some strategies for the better management of mental health induced by SARS-CoV-2 infections are required for all classes of peoples. Early management is vital, and those must be associated with frontline workers and people staying at home, particularly in isolation centers and already identified as active cases. Experts have pointed out the need to pay specific attention to proper daily life. To manage abnormal mental conditions, such as anxiety, mood, personality, and psychotic disorder during the pandemic;social media, meditation, and psychological motivation with adequate diet, exercise, and sleep have significant roles in regulating some biological mechanism, incredibly immune, hormonal, and neural process. Management of mental health is mandatory for all at the time of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We can consider all of the strategies mentioned above to treat mental health during and after the COVID-19 pandemic condition. © 2021,Bangladesh Society for Microbiology, Immunology and Advanced Biotechnology.
