According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, coronavirus could spread through the soles of shoes worn by medical workers.
A report
published in the federal agency’s magazine Emerging Infectious Diseases
He stated that samples of staff plants taken at Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan showed that the virus could spread in shoes.
“Additionally, half of the samples from the soles of ICU medical personnel shoes tested positive,” the CDC said. “Therefore, the soles of medical personnel’s shoes could function as carriers. Positive results from three weeks from locker room floor four could also come from these carriers.”
The CDC stated that they strongly recommend disinfecting the soles of the feet before leaving rooms that contain COVID-19 patients.
