DOH: Spraying, misting vs COVID-19 not recommended; may even cause harm

The Department of Health on Friday said there is no evidence to support that such practices, whether done indoors or outdoors, would kill the new coronavirus

that causes the disease.It can also cause pathogens to be dispersed during spraying and such practices could also result in skin irritation and inhalation of chemicals.

I agree. Because of chlorine it's hard for me to breathe.

Until you provide evidence to the contrary DOH, this misting, disinfecting shld go on. It does reduce other virus and bacteria that might otherwise exacerbate COVID 19.

anong gusto nyo? daladan lng? Wala nman kayong ginagawa ah!

This spraying is being done eversince. Why quack only now, DoH ?

Maski di na lang COVID 19 virus ang mamatay. Maski ibang virus at bacteria na lang. Bawas sa iintindihin na magkakasakit pag tinamanaan ng ibang virus o bacteria. 😁

Maski di na lang COBID 19 birus ang mamatay. Maski ibang virus at bacteria na lang. Bawas sa iintindihin na magkakasakit pag tinamanaan ng ibang virus o bacteria. 😁

Grabe ngayon nio lang sinabi, kung kailan nakailan beses na nagsagawa ang bawat cities.

So,what do you suggest we do?First the mask &then this one?You can’t prevent hospitals&commercial establishments fm doing such process for preventive measures.Please have a legit source. Evidence-based medicine should be applied at these times not just based fm a “study”

DOH' sick st8ments thy need 2get thr act 2gethr.1st,thy said;'only thos who'r sick shud wear masks' thn 'every1's requird 2wear masks' thn now 'misting does not kill the virus?'Peopl SPIT,STEP on sputum,crap!Priority 2Kill the time thers evidence were dead

So DOH, what is your recommendation? Any brilliant ideas.

So all disinfecting methods are useless DOHgovph?

Is there any evidence to support that such practices, whether done indoors or outdoors, would not kill the new coronavirus that causes the disease?

Did they also mention virus is not something to be killed? 🙋 So, are they saying there are enough evidence to support it doesn't work at all? 🙋

The DOH get info from moreCOVID19testlabsNOW secduque COVID19PH whatstheplanph BUT In Beijing, businesses get sprayed with disinfectant. Street fumigation takes place regularly.

Of course there would be no evidence nor studies to support the practice. Nobody prioritizes on studying it amidst the pandemic. But is it not logical to do so despite the lack of evidence?

Who listens to the DOH? Its track record is not exactly noteworthy, like their advise not to wear masks?’

Then why was it regularly done in South Korea & China? Because you have to kill the virus attached on clothes & other surfaces.

i agree.
