Hand hygiene and everyday masks promise protection against Covid-19.
If you want to arm yourself beyond that, you have the choice between “Corona gadgets” such as copper tapes.

Fabric, FFP2 or surgical masks meanwhile determine the image in supermarkets, buses and trains.
Those who wear them keep a large part of the breath droplets potentially contaminated with coronaviruses from getting into the environment - and in this way protect others from infection.
But it's not just the mask that has a protective effect: There are far more measures that can contain the spread of coronaviruses or even kill them.
These include the following "Corona gadgets":
Room air filter
Door hook and door opener
Copper tapes for doorknobs
special sprayers
Retaining bracket for shopping trolleys
Plexiglass panes or protective curtains
Room air filters, copper tape or plexiglass: what really works against Covid-19?
Since Covid-19 spreads primarily via droplet infection - i.e. via respiratory secretions in the air - all protective measures have an effect that reduce their range.
These include visors for the face, plexiglass panes at the baker's or butcher's or everyday masks
.
In closed rooms, you should also ventilate frequently to ensure that the air is free from viruses.
This is also where room air purifiers come in, which are able to filter very small air components such as viruses out of the air through special filtration.
These are recommended by experts such as Christian J. Kähler from the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich for schools, offices or waiting rooms.
Such room air filters are not very cheap, which is why they are rather uninteresting for private households.
In
contrast, the following ingenious "Corona gadgets", which protect against infection with Covid-19, are
affordable and extremely practical for everyone

The latter use the antiviral, antibacterial and fungicidal properties of copper and thus its disinfecting effect.
The
Shieldex® copper tape,
specially developed to protect against pathogens,
can be quickly cut to size, simply attached to door handles, window handles or other brackets and inactivates 99.98 percent of the coronaviruses in minutes
.
The mechanism behind it: copper releases ions that significantly shorten the survival time of viruses, bacteria and fungi - hospitals, for example, use this effect by using door handles made of solid copper.

The copper tapes are even more effective than full copper due to their seven times higher ion release
.
In a study by the University of Southhampton, researchers were able to show that multi-resistant infectious agents such as the hospital germ MRSA die off much faster on copper surfaces than on stainless steel.
According to the researchers, the risk of bacteria, fungi and viruses spreading on copper has been proven to be low due to its antimicrobial effect.
Copper tapes also develop this effect.
The Eurovir® hygiene laboratory, for example, was able to prove that TGEV coronaviruses on copper tape are 99.98 percent inactivated after just 60 minutes.
The renowned Hohenstein Institute also confirms the virucidal and strongly antibacterial effectiveness of Statex copper textiles.

copper tapes can also convince

I had already ordered the tape for my speech therapy practice and attached it to all the doorknobs when it was announced.
Easy to cut and install.
I can't say much about the effect; after my explanation, it was very favorably accepted by my patients.
(…) Thank you very much, I have already recommended it to others.
