Description

The present invention relates to an infection prevention assisting tool, and is particularly useful as a tool that can be attached to a finger and can be gripped without directly touching the finger when carrying a dish or the like.

Preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria has become an important issue for humans to lead a safe and healthy life.

There are several types of infection by viruses and bacteria, and there are various transmission routes. In other words, droplet infection that is wrapped in fine saliva and airway secretions due to coughing or sneezing and is transmitted by jumping out into the air, air infection that is transmitted through a virus floating in the air, direct contact with the skin or mucous membrane, etc. Contact infections that are transmitted by indirect contact through the surface of objects such as medical devices, handrails, towels, etc., and infections when eating food contaminated with viruses or bacteria without sufficient heating. There is an oral infection that contaminates food and water through the fingers of a person who has been infected and is transmitted by eating or drinking the contaminated food.

While it is difficult to completely cut off all transmission routes, cutting off specific transmission routes is very useful from the viewpoint of preventing the spread of infection. This is because, in a particular situation, infection by a particular route out of several typologies accounts for a large proportion. In addition, since the infection route is specified by the type of virus or bacterium, it is possible to effectively prevent the spread of infection by the virus or bacterium by cutting off the specific infection route.

For example, infection with norovirus, rotavirus, or influenza virus in restaurants can be an oral infection in which food is contaminated through the fingers of an infected person and is transmitted by eating the contaminated food, or an infected person can get infected on a dish. Contact infection, which comes into contact and infects through the surface of the dish, is the main transmission route.

Not limited to restaurants, the infected person's fingers may come into contact with the article when grasping the article, and the virus may infect a third party through the article, and preventing such infection is not possible. It can be a very important factor in the fight between humans and viruses.
