Before you know it, the awesome 2020 is about to pass. In this year, many things have changed due to a sudden epidemic. For example, the medical industry at the center of the incident has been hit hard. Besides a test for all medical personnel, it is also a test for related manufacturing industries. Masks and protective clothing were also affected. However, with the active efforts of the government and the masses, the impact of the epidemic has gradually diminished and even normalized. But this does not mean that we should relax our vigilance, because the virus will take every opportunity to come to us and it is impossible to prevent it.
Today, the epidemic is not as big as it was at the beginning of the year, but there will still be sporadic infections in different provinces and cities, and the series of epidemics in Chengdu, Sichuan province once again set us off to sound the alarm. In fact, in many cases of infection, in addition to close contact with the infected person, imported fresh food is also a common channel. For example, there was an incident recently at a location in Hubei, when the city of Wuhan conducted a new coronavirus nucleic acid surveillance test on imported cold chain food from the Changjing Cold Chain Storage Center in the Hongshan district, a copy of frozen pork loin imported from Brazil was found to be positive. So the district’s market supervision department quickly sealed and destroyed the frozen pork loin imported from Brazil that 4 households had bought.
In addition to Hubei, there are also news reports that Sichuan disease control personnel have tested positive for switches, refrigerators and cutting boards in the homes of COVID-19 patients. This indicates that the scope of contamination of COVID-19 patients is relatively wide. This has also sparked tension among some consumers about whether appliances like home refrigerators and washing machines will become a virus home, or whether the concept of healthy appliances should be promoted quickly.
In fact, refrigerator products have long been studied for healthy home appliances or for the development of sterilization functions. The phrase “disease enters through the mouth” should be a Chinese consensus since ancient times, because viruses or bacteria can easily infect the human body through the oral cavity and the body’s surface protection system, like skin or hair, it is difficult to work. Refrigerators, as an important appliance for storing food, naturally have to do a good job of sterilization to ensure that consumers can eat safe and healthy dishes. The epidemic only spurred such demand, which caused products with this feature to gain a lot of attention. Taking advantage of this opportunity, major refrigerator brands such as Midea and Haier are vigorously promoting clean taste and sterilization refrigerators. Today most brands use the release of active ions, which is ozone in a popular sense, and then by catalytic reaction of metal catalysts, which can kill most bacteria. There is also the release of silver ions and negative ions, which have been shown to destroy most bacteria. However, the specific performance of the above two methods must also take into account the frequency of the refrigerator door opening and usage habits. If the frequency of use is too high, the effect can be greatly reduced.
Regarding whether it is necessary to replace a refrigerator with sterilization function, the author suggests that if it turns out to be a rigid requirement, such as the purchase time of the air conditioners is long and the service life is close to the service life recommended by the seller, it is suitable for replacement, but if it is only because of the epidemic panic. , It is unnecessary. Because some experts said that although the refrigerator environment in the refrigerator is easy to contaminate the virus, it does not mean that every refrigerator in every home contains the virus, so there is no need to worry too much. In fact, what we really need to do is strengthen control of imported ingredients, clean the refrigerator regularly, and do a good job of physical hygiene.
