As evidências atuais indicam que o vírus causador da doença COVID-19 é transmitido através de gotículas respiratórias ou por contato. A transmissão por contato ocorre quando as mãos contaminadas tocam a mucosa da boca, nariz ou olhos. O vírus também pode ser transferido de uma superfície... para outra através das mãos contaminadas, o que facilita a transmissão por contato indireto. Consequentemente, a higienização das mãos é extremamente importante para evitar a disseminação do vírus causador da doença COVID-19.

mnesty International’s annual report on the state of the world’s human rights in 2021, published in March 2022, shows that promises to “build back better” after the Covid-19 pandemic were little more than lip service. Hopes of global cooperation withered in the face of vaccine hoarding and c...orporate greed.
