The chain of transmission of bacteria and virus cell from one person to another person is termed as “Infection Loop”. Spread of Virus follows a closed chain. This chain can be formed either by direct transmission or indirect transmission of viruses. In a manner to achieve air sterilization and surface disinfection, it is important to break the infection loop.
Direct Transmission-
When a person cough or sneezes, a large number of bacteria and virus cell Comes out from his/her
nose/mouth in form of droplet.
If another person is present in the radius of 2-3 ft. the droplets can directly land onto their body and
could affect them, when they get a chance to enter in the body cell.
Indirect Transmission-
When a person cough or sneezes, a large number of bacteria and virus cell comes out from his/her
nose/mouth in form droplet and land on to the nearby surfaces such as table, furniture, paper, door etc.
These surfaces when touched by other person, give a chance to virus to travel from the surface to the
human body through their hand. When the person touches his mouth, nose, eyes these bacteria/virus
cells get inside the body start mutating their-selves.
How we break the loop-
Infection Loop can be destroyed by breaking the chain of transmission as well as by destroying the
bacteria/virus cell before it pass on to other people. Breaking the infection loop results in Air
Sterilization and Surface Disinfection.
