NASA engineers have created a pendant against coronavirus

NASA engineers have developed a device that reduces the risk of infection coronavirus infection in tens times, reported the news portal evo-rus.com.

The device is a suspension, which must be worn on the neck. The approach of the hand to the face catches the IR sensor, the result of suspension vibrates. Development called PULSE, it can be fabricated on a 3D printer. The engineers have provided a complete parts list, simulation files and instructions open source.

Scientists emphasize that the suspension does not protect against СOVID-19 fully, but simply helps to form a useful habit that reduces the risk of infection. In the case if the particles were the causative agent, when you touch the face, they can get on the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth or eyes, and eventually cause disease. That is why epidemiologists should carefully and frequently wash hands.

However, the main mechanism of infection of the coronavirus is the transmission of infection by airborne droplets from person to person. As a security measure in this case effectively has a medical mask. Scientists have proven that pretty quickly after the governments of various countries ordered their citizens to wear the armband, people are less likely to get sick. So, for a month in Italy, the number of cases COVID-19 decreased by 78 thousand people in new York city by 66 thousand, wrote NEWS.ru.
