¿Porque lavarse con jabon y no solo con agua ?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

El jabón permite eliminar las gotas del virus expulsadas por otra persona, las cuales se pueden encontrar en diversas superficies.

Explanation:

La Organización Mundial de la Salud establece que una de las formas para evitar la propagación del virus es con el lavado constante de las manos con jabón. Esta medida se debe a que las personas a lo largo del día llegan a tocar diversas superficies y a manipular objetos que pudieran haber entrado en contacto con alguien que tiene el virus. Como una persona no puede identificar si en alguna superficie u objeto hay partículas del virus, la prevención es lavarse las manos.

Se sabe que el virus se puede encontrar en cualquier superficie u objeto que una persona toque, este puede permanecer ahí durante horas acorde del material con el cual este fabricado. Si la persona toca algo y directamente lleva sus manos a cualquier parte de la cara como boca, nariz u ojos, el virus puede entrar y producirse el contagio.
