Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Antimicrobial surface coat kills COVID-19 amazing 90 days

A specially formulated antimicrobial coating can keep surfaces clear of a human coronavirus for up to 90 days with just one application, a preliminary study said Friday, suggesting a new line of defense against COVID-19 by researchers at the University of Arizona (UA). Result: coated surfaces virus reduced by 90 percent in 10 minutes and by 99.9 percent in two hours.

Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at UA and the study’s senior author, informed about “the next advancement in infection control.”

“I think it’s mostly important for high-use surfaces like subways and buses, because you could disinfect them but then the next people that come in there will recontaminate the surfaces,” he added. But, “it’s not a substitute for regular cleaning and disinfecting, but it covers you in between regular disinfecting and cleaning.”

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: City of L.A. guidance on wearing face coverings in public

Mayor Eric Garcetti has issued an order requiring Angelenos to wear face coverings outside their homes.

The order will aid the fight against COVID-19, as restrictions are gradually eased to allow more people to return to work and outdoor recreation. The order exempts young children who are at risk of suffocation and people with certain disabilities from being required to wear a face covering.

Face coverings help stop the spread of the virus, and wearing them in public creates a layer of protection. However, a face covering is not a substitute for other critical measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 — most importantly, staying home as much as possible, washing hands frequently, and practicing safe physical distancing of at least 6 feet in all settings.

All Angelenos are required to wear protective face coverings outside their homes.

Frequently asked questions:

What type of face covering should I wear?
All Angelenos, except for young children and people with certain disabilities, should make or purchase cloth face coverings to wear over their mouths and noses. Face coverings should be cleaned after each use.

Medical grade and N95 masks are reserved for those who need them most and have the highest risk of infection, including medical professionals and healthcare workers.

Where can I find a face covering?
You can make your own cloth face covering with a bandana, scarf, or piece of cloth. You can follow instructions available online from trusted sources, like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). You can also find links to local manufacturers selling face coverings at the L.A. Protects website.

These measures will help flatten the curve and save lives.

We are so grateful for the community and for the outpouring of kindness and generosity toward Cedars-Sinai during this time. We are truly touched by this extraordinary commitment as the world continues to face the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic—from offering kind words that fill our hearts to donating money and supplies that keep our front-line staff prepared, rested, fed and, most importantly, safe.

  • Strengthening our care teams and training nurses who specialize in other areas to have the skills needed to also work in our intensive care unit. Every day, nurses at Cedars-Sinai provide the best in care to patients and their families, and as we prepare for this projected surge, we want to be sure that our nurses have the expertise to treat patients in every scenario. Cedars-Sinai is built on this tradition of teamwork—especially in times of great need.
  • Establishing a COVID-19 Research Task Force to centralize all COVID-19 research-related activities at Cedars-Sinai. This group is coordinating all ongoing, planned and already initiated COVID-19 research efforts; identifying collaborative opportunities both within Cedars-Sinai and at institutions around the world; and sharing all that is learned about COVID-19 with our investigators.
