Novel Coronavirus isolation in ESD suits? This is a rumor!

Check points:

1. The main function of esd clothes is to prevent static electricity from accumulating on clothes. The material of the antistatic suit includes polymer fiber, inorganic fiber (such as metal fiber, carbon fiber, etc.) and antistatic agent with antistatic effect, which is completely different from the material of the medical protective suit used for isolation of novel Coronavirus.

2. Medical protective clothing is mainly made of spunbond, melt-blown and water-injected nonwoven fabric with a small aperture, which is difficult to penetrate bacteria, viruses, water, blood, alcohol and other liquids. And many esd suits have very large apertures, giving them the same protective effect as normal coats in novel Coronavirus protection.

3. Given the shortage of medical protective clothing, it is recommended that medical protective clothing be reserved for health care workers or workers in high-risk environments. In some public places where no cases have been found, a one-piece raincoat or windproof and waterproof coat can be worn.
