Ginebra. Rociar o fumigar las calles con desinfectante, como se hace en algunos países, no sirve para eliminar al nuevo coronavirus y además plantea un riesgo sanitario, advirtió este sábado la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).

En un documento sobre la limpieza y la desinfección de superficies en el marco de la respuesta al nuevo coronavirus, la OMS explicó que “no se recomienda el rociado o la fumigación de espacios exteriores, como calles o mercados, para matar al virus causante de la covid-19 u otros patógenos, pues la acción del desinfectante se ve anulada por la suciedad”.
