“No to the greeting with the elbow, it favors contagion”

“Not to salute with the elbow.” This was stated by the director of the World Health Organization, WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who used Twitter to spread the recommendation on the Coronavirus, spreading a message from the economist Diana Ortega.

“With this practice, it is not possible to observe the necessary safety distance to avoid contagion, it is less than one meter. For now, I prefer to put a hand on my heart as a sign of respect for others.

Coronavirus, WHO: “In October and November there will be a boom in cases and deaths”

This is the text of the message forwarded by Ghebeyesus and that contrasts somewhat with the behavior manifested until March by the same director, when, in fact, several times he used his elbow to say hello. This is also related to the issue that WHO advice invites people to sneeze and cough into the elbow, which thus becomes a potential receptacle for bacteria.

Meanwhile, according to the Johns Hopkins University reissue, the world’s total proportion of infections has passed the 29 million threshold. The number of infections in the world is 29,019,639, including 924,463 deaths. Since the start of the pandemic, 19,630,897 people have been cured.
