COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of Corona-virus. ‘CO’ stands for corona, ‘VI’ for virus, and ‘D’ for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as ’2019 novel corona-virus’ or ’2019-nCoV’.
The new coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose. To protect yourself, clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning that they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Prevention for Corona Virus:
To prevent infection and to slow transmission of COVID-19, do the following:
(Ref. as per World Health Organization)
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has affected day to day life and is slowing down the global economy. This pandemic has affected thousands of peoples, who are either sick or are being killed due to the spread of this disease. This, being a new viral disease affecting humans for the first time, vaccines are not yet available. This virus is spreading exponentially region wise.
Countries are banning gatherings of people to the spread and break the exponential curve. Many countries are locking their population and enforcing strict quarantine to control the spread of the havoc of this highly communicable disease. COVID-19 has rapidly affected our day to day life (health, social and economy), businesses, disrupted the world trade and movements. This virus creates significant knock-on effects on the daily life of citizens as well as about the global economy.
For most of the people around the world today, the recent COVID-19 outbreak is a symbol of how unpredictable and fragile our lives can be in an unusual state of affairs. The virus which has changed the way in which most of us live, work or performs our basic day to day functions is continuing to increase its grasp at an alarming rate with the impact being felt at multiple levels resulting in economic slowdown, business disruption, trade hindrances, travel obstructions, public seclusion and so on.
As it known to all, COVID-19 is kinds of virus newly-appeared. While bacteria and viruses both can cause many common infections. But what are the differences between these two kinds of infectious organisms? Let us know here.
Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that are made up of a single cell. They’re very diverse and can have a large variety of shapes and structural features. Bacteria can live in almost every conceivable environment, including in or on the human body.Only a handful of bacteria cause infections in humans. These bacteria are referred to as pathogenic bacteria.
Viruses are another type of tiny microorganism, although they’re even smaller than bacteria. Like bacteria, they’re very diverse and have a variety of shapes and features. Viruses are parasitic. That means they require living cells or tissue in which to grow.
Viruses can invade the cells of your body, using the components of your cells to grow and multiply. Some viruses even kill host cells as part of their life cycle.
What is actual meaning of the word “ANTI” related to Bacteria and Virus? “ANTI” When the meaning is ‘against’ or ‘preventing’, you need to use anti-, which comes from the Greek word ”anti”. It’s used to form words such as Antibacterial (=active against bacteria) or Antivirus (= a prevention against viral disease).
From above analysis, it is quite different between bacteria and virus, accordingly, anti–virus and anti-bacteria are also two different concepts.
These years, u may discovered a certain number of companies in Textile Industry have come up with an idea to develop an antibacterial yarn & fabric innovations which are announced to be very necessary in prevent/killing bacteria. However, do please notice a majority of them has proved the yarn or fabric are anti-bacterial only, how this” anti-bacterial yarn” performance in this virus-preventing field? As now we all know what is Corona Virus or Covid-19 which is exactly kinds of virus not bacteria, here let us know something unique with JIAYI Yarn.
Here in JIAYI, first we introduced Anti-bacterial Nylon Yarn in late 2014 after the continuous efforts and constant research. In 2015, we made another more remarkable progress in this yarn by improved yarn technology which combined with Anti-Bacterial and Anti-virus(2 functions in 1 yarn). This Newest Yarn namely “Safelife®”, in 2020 when we all suffered COVID-19, this yarn has begin to attract increasing attentions from medical masks and medical wearings manufacturers, and it play an unprecedentedly revolutionary role in all these fields.
You can see Hongkong goverment has distributed copper yarn inner masks which named CUMASK to his citizens after this time COVID-19 outbreak. It has six layers, two infused with copper, which is capable of immobilising bacterial, common virus and other hamful substances.
For anti-virus mask-making, our client often make this mask into 3 layers: the outisde layer is knitted from Safelife® yarn, the middle layer is made from melt-brown fabric( or anti-statics farbic), the innner layer directly contacted face can applied the Jiayi anti-bacterial yarn to prevent bad smelling after longtime wearing.
As compared to our Anti-Bacterial Nylon yarn, the combination of Anti-Bacterial & Anti-Virus yarn gives people more comprehensive protection.
1.Excellent anti-virus effect:
As per our Test Report (Shown Below), the Logarithm of Infectivity titre Value after 24 Hours contacting with the reference specimen (lgTCID50), the final result we achieved is with the Logarithm of Antiviral Activity is 4.20 and Antiviral Activity Rate (%) is 99.99.
Hence, it indicates that the MV is the Logarithm of Antiviral Activity: 3.0 > MV ≥ 2.0, means that the antiviral activity efficiency is small: MV ≥ 3.0, indicates that the antiviral efficiency is FULL.
2. Excellent anti-bacterial effect:
3. Long lasting effect even after 80 times washing;
4. Anti-acarid: 81%
5. Anti-UV: 50+
6. Safety for human beings directly contact;
