The coronavirus remains active on human skin for as long as nine hours, a new research by Japanese scientists, published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases claims.&nbsp;In contrast, the flu-causing pathogen survives on human skin for about 1.8 hours, the study said.
SARS-CoV-2's ability to survive for 9 hours on human skin may enhance the risk of contact transmission. The flu virus and the coronavirus are inactivated within 15 seconds of applying ethanol, found in santizers, they claimed.
Backing World Health Organisation's advice, the study concluded by adding that hand hygiene&nbsp;may reduce the risk, and stressed on the need to wash hands frequently to combat Covid-19.

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan&nbsp;on Friday announced that India is on its way to eliminate trans fats from its supply chain completely by 2022.&nbsp;
Speaking at a FSSAI&nbsp;event to commemorate World Food Day, Vardhan&nbsp;said, 'Trans fat is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). And eliminating CVD risk factor is especially relevant during Covid-19.'&nbsp;
A food toxin present in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) (e.g. vanaspati, shortening, margarine, etc.), baked and fried foods, trans fat is a major contributor to the rise in non-communicable diseases in India.

As of now, children have not been tested for any experimental Covid-19 vaccine.The CDC&nbsp;noted that only non-pregnant adults have been included in early clinical trials of the vaccine.&nbsp;

An American survey has found that alcohol consumption is falling out of favour amongst young adults aged 18-22. Conducted twice, the survey discovered that 'teetotalism' or the practice of abstaining from alcohol rose from 20% in 2002 to 28% in 2018.&nbsp;
However, researchers report that cannabis use has replaced youngsters' thirst for hard drinks. More people are opting for marijuana and co-using marijuana and alcohol, the survey published in JAMA Paediatrics found. Researchers noted that despite this their findings suggest a positive trend as misuse is reported less but urged to keep a watch on co-using habits.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In a major trial to test whether vitamin D could protect against Covid-19, researchers from the&nbsp;Queen Mary University&nbsp;of London, are looking for over 5,000 volunteers to join the study.
The study aims to assess whether risks of the novel coronavirus can be reduced by correcting vitamin D deficiencies in people especially in the winter months when people are more susceptible to respiratory illnesses.
The volunteers do not need to step out of their homes, vitamin D supplements would be sent to their homes via post.&nbsp;

In what could be a radical move, Australia may force people to buy cigarettes with a prescription or from pharmacies and medical stores, in an effort to curb the habit of smoking.&nbsp;
The ambitious initiative is being tested&nbsp;by a new centre at the&nbsp;University of Queensland. The Centre for Research Excellence on Achieving the Tobacco Endgame (CREATE) is exploring strategies to reduce the number of tobacco retailers and restricting sales to particular suppliers.
The centre has also proposed banning sale to&nbsp;everyone born after a certain year and phasing out commercial cigarette sales for good.

Cloth masks may reduce the risk of transmission of viruses, like the one causing Covid-19, only if washed every day at high temperatures, a new study from the University of New South Wales in Australia claims.
The researchers stated that both cloth and surgical masks must be considered contaminated after use. For the study, published in the journal BMJ Open, data from a randomised controlled trial from 2015 was analysed.
While they did not test for SARS-CoV-2, they included other respiratory pathogens like rhinoviruses, seasonal coronaviruses and influenza.
The researchers&nbsp;did not advice handwashing the masks, instead the study backed WHO's recommendation of machine washing the masks in hot water at 60 degrees celsius.

Since the appearance on Covid-19, at least 4,000 medical papers about the virus have been published, many of which have later been retracted, withdrawn, or tagged with an 'expression of concern.'&nbsp;
And as of 31 July 2020, 19 published articles and 14 pre-prints about COVID-19 have been retracted, many of them from Asia and more than half from Chinese labs.
'Patient harm that is significant, permanent and irreversible could result from using faulty research results from pre-prints as well as published papers,'&nbsp;wrote Professor Katrina Bramstedt&nbsp;of&nbsp;Bond University.&nbsp;

A first-of-its kind survey, conducted between January and December of 2019 answers questions about what a typical 24-hour day looks like in an Indian's life.&nbsp; The main aim of the survey conducted by the&nbsp;National Statistical office was to assess the&nbsp;paid and&nbsp;unpaid activities both in rural and urban areas.
The results will help in policy assessment across various departments. The survey showed that in rural areas, males aged 6 years and older, spent an average of&nbsp;9.23 hours sleeping and "related activities&rdquo;.&nbsp;While females spent a little longer, that is 9.28 hours sleeping. In urban areas, males spent 8.9 hours in sleep and females spent&nbsp;9.2 hours sleeping and in other related activities.&nbsp;

Researchers have found evidence of&nbsp;air pollution particles,&nbsp; linked to&nbsp;Alzheimer&rsquo;s and Parkinson&rsquo;s disease-related damage, in the brain stems of young people.
With 90% of the world living in polluted air, the discovery&nbsp;could&nbsp;have far-reaching impacts on global populations, if future research can confirm the findings.&nbsp;
While experts remain cautious of the findings, previous studies have confirmed that&nbsp;air pollution exposure increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.&nbsp;
Published in the journal Environmental Research, scientists noted that pervasive, 'airborne and environmental&nbsp;nanoparticles may be a common signifier of neurodegenerative&nbsp;pathologies affecting urban-dwellers from&nbsp;their earliest childhood.'

Their study showed that the virus was 'extremely robust', surviving for 28 days on glass and other smooth surfaces when in room temperature. On cloth, the virus seemed to last for a shorter period of time.
On the other hand, the flu virus can survive in the same scenario for 17 days.
The study, which was published in&nbsp;Virology Journal, further showed that the&nbsp;SARS-Cov-2 survived for less time at hotter temperatures.
