Research: Coronavirus cannot hold on cotton fabric and gloves
After reaching the findings that the penetrating power of the coronavirus increased by about 10 times and is more deadly after mutation, US scientists announced that Covid-19 can live 170 times less in cotton gloves and fabrics than in plastics.
While Scripps Research Center officials in Florida, USA, determined that after mutation, Covid-19 is much more durable and deadly than before, they found interesting findings about the reaction of cotton gloves and fabrics and plastic surfaces against the Covid-19 virus. reached.
According to the results of the research, plastic gloves and masks, which are frequently used after the coronavirus, are actually not effective at all when “the strength of the virus on surfaces is considered”.
However, gloves, masks and other protective equipment made of 100 percent cotton fabric work 170 times better than plastic.
In the study of the Scripps Research Center, the survival times of the Covid-19 virus were tested on 8 different substances. These items include plastic nitrile gloves, which are frequently used by nurses and doctors, chemical resistant gloves, N-95 and N-100 style special putter masks, plastic, cotton fabric and gloves, and steel.
Coronavirus can survive for 1 hour on 100% cotton fabrics
Accordingly, the coronavirus can survive for 21 days in plastic visor hats, 14 days in stainless steel, 7 days in nitrile plastic gloves, 4 days in chemical resistant gloves, while it can only survive for 1 hour in cotton fabric and gloves.
If the surface of a 100 percent cotton fabric is infected with the Covid-19 virus, 99.9 percent of the virus leaves this natural environment in just one hour. Within 24 hours, the coronavirus is cleaned from completely natural cotton fabric.

While the scientists who conducted the research mentioned the importance of cotton fabric use in the field of health in their article on the subject, they announced that they had reached a groundbreaking finding on the methods of combating coronavirus and epidemic prevention, washing and recycling of medical supplies.
The research on cotton fabrics can be accessed from the MedRxiv.org website, which provides content on studies in the field of medicine.
