Although Seoul is not yet going into full lockdown, residents are not allowed to go to nightclubs or large social gatherings for at least two weeks.They're also not permitted to work out hard and fast at the gym. Under the new regulations, treadmills are capped at 3.7 miles per hour, and music played over the gym speakers cannot exceed 120 beats per minute. For reference, that's about the tempo of "<a href="https://songbpm.com/@carly-rae-jepsen/call-me-maybe-48176c90-5933-4dc5-935d-35cac81a4ddc">Call Me Maybe"</a> by Carly Rae Jepsen, or the BTS hit <a href="https://songbpm.com/@bts/boy-with-luv-with-halsey">"Boy With Luv."</a> Both songs would set the pace for a brisk walk or a really slow jog.Dua Lipa's <a href="https://songbpm.com/@dua-lipa/levitating-feat-dababy">"Levitating"</a> also passes the test at 109 BPM, as does <a href="https://tunebat.com/Info/MONTERO-Call-Me-By-Your-Name-Lil-Nas-X/3BZEcbdtXQSo7OrvKRJ6mb">"MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)"</a> by Lil Nas X, which clocks in around 89 BPM.But anything more strenuous than a power walk has been deemed a <keyword id="67884" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Transmission">transmission</keyword> risk. (That means gym-goers will not be able to angry run to <a href="https://songbpm.com/@olivia-rodrigo/good-4-u-PO84G4NqLk">"good 4 u"</a> by Olivia Rodrigo or bench press to the beat of Kanye West's <a href="https://songbpm.com/@kanye-west/power">"Power."</a>)Under the new rules, exercisers are also required to wear masks, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-who-fully-vaccinated-wear-masks-2021-6">even if fully vaccinated</a>, and workout <a href="https://www.insider.com/ways-gyms-can-lower-covid-19-risk-ventilation-expert-2020-11">class sizes are limited</a>. While those policies could help curb the spread of COVID-19, experts are skeptical that slowing down the music will have the intended effect.<h2>Some infectious disease experts are baffled by the new rule</h2>The goal of the new gym restrictions is to prevent heavy breathing and sweating on other gym-goers, <a href="http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20210712000804">according to health officials</a>."When you run faster, you spit out more respiratory droplets, so that's why we are trying to restrict heavy cardio exercises," Son Young-rae, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Welfare, <a href="http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20210712000804">said in a radio interview Monday</a>.But some scientists and lawmakers aren't buying it.Dr. Kim Woo-joo, an infectious disease specialist at Korea University Guro Hospital in Seoul, told the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/13/world/asia/south-korea-gyms-covid.html?campaign_id=154&amp;emc=edit_cb_20210713&amp;instance_id=35224&amp;nl=coronavirus-briefing&amp;regi_id=55940019&amp;segment_id=63339&amp;te=1&amp;user_id=58ac7270b12f323ded9a1c824aac3aa77270b12f323ded9a1c824aac3aa7">New York Times</a> the gym policies were "absurd" and "ineffective.""So you don't get COVID-19 if you walk slower than 6 km per hour?" said Kim Yong-tae, a member of the main opposition People Power Party, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/south-korea-mandates-slower-gym-music-covid-19-cases-spike-n1273793">according to Reuters</a>. "And who on earth checks the BPM of the songs when you work out? I don't understand what COVID-19 has to do with my choice of music."Other experts pointed out that slowing down the music won't necessarily discourage people from working out at a high intensity.

The coronavirus is transmitted via respiratory droplets, and the CDC <a href="https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/selected-epa-registered-disinfectants">says</a> that current evidence suggests it "may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials." There's already been an increase in demand for <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/deep-clean-house-clothes-help-ward-coronavirus/">cleaning</a> <a href="https://www.fox29.com/news/local-professional-cleaning-services-see-uptick-in-business-due-to-coronavirus-fears">services</a> all around the world, and numerous schools and businesses <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-show-new-coronavirus-outbreak-in-united-states-2020-3#while-some-people-have-already-begun-putting-themselves-in-self-isolation-others-are-stocking-up-on-food-in-case-of-a-mandatory-quarantine-3">have closed</a> for deep cleanings.Here's how the CDC suggests you do a deep-clean. <h2>Remember to clean first, disinfect later</h2>Cleaning refers to the removal of germs from surfaces. Disinfecting refers to the use of chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. Both can lower the risk of infection spread, but you should clean first, disinfect after.Don't forget to read the label on your disinfectants. Some need to remain wet for anywhere from two to ten minutes.<h2>Use household cleaners and disinfectants on frequently touched surfaces</h2>Look at tables, doorknobs, light switches and toilets as places to start. Before you disinfect dirty surfaces, clean them with detergent or soap and water.For disinfecting, you can use alcohol solutions that contains at least 70% alcohol, household disinfectants <a href="https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/selected-epa-registered-disinfectants">registered with the EPA</a>, or diluted household bleach solutions. Don't use expired products, and don't mix bleach with any other cleaners. Common household disinfectant brands on the EPA list include Lysol and Clorox.The CDC <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/home/cleaning-disinfection.html">recommends</a> people create their own bleach solutions by mixing 5 tablespoons of bleach per gallon of water or 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water.<h2>Wear gloves and make sure you have good ventilation while you clean</h2>Wear disposable gloves and throw them out after you're done using them, according to the CDC.If you're using reusable gloves, don't use them for other purposes, and clean your hands immediately after the gloves are removed. Peel the gloves away from your body, pulling them inside out, and <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/pdf/poster-how-to-remove-gloves.pdf">try not to let the outside of the glove touch your skin.</a><h2>Wash dirty laundry on the warmest setting possible</h2>There is no need to shake dirty laundry, as that can spread viruses through the air. Use the warmest appropriate water setting for washing the items and let them dry completely afterward.If you're not using gloves when washing dirty laundry, make sure to wash your hands afterwards. Also, consider washing the laundry bag that holds your clothes, as that surface can also collect germs and viruses.<h2>Clean your electronics </h2>Phones and tablets are what the CDC calls <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-prevent-spread.html" target="_blank" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer">"high touch" surfaces,</a> so you're going to want to clean them.

You can also use a UV sanitation device, which beams UV-C rays at your phone in order to kill germs.Read more:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-show-new-coronavirus-outbreak-in-united-states-2020-3">Photos capture how the US is reacting to the coronavirus outbreak, from stocking up on supplies to deep cleaning mass transit and schools</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-virus-everything-we-know-deadly-2019-ncov-wuhan-spread-2020-1">Coronavirus live updates: Nearly 97,000 people have been infected and more than 3,300 have died.

How to clean your home to prevent coronavirus spread

New Delhi, Mar 2 () Industry body Ficci on Monday called for measures to prevent the spread of deadly coronavirus in India, even as two more cases -- one in Delhi and another in Telangana -- were reported in the country.It suggested adoption of infection control practices and strengthening of screening at airports, among others."Till date India has been relatively untouched. The most important part of our strategy must be screening and ensuring that the virus does not enter and parallelly a hospital preparedness strategy is in place," Ficci president Sangita Reddy said.She said this needs to be further backed by mapping of available health-care resources in both public and private sector, for sample testing, quarantine and treatment to prepare for likely spread.The Health Ministry on Monday said two more positive cases of the novel coronavirus -- one in Delhi and another in Telangana -- have been reported."Screening at all ports of entry for travellers from all countries should be immediately strengthened. As private hospitals in India cater to many international patients under Medical Value Travel, active involvement of the private healthcare providers becomes even more critical to develop protocols for screening, isolation and treatment of COVID-19 infected persons," Reddy said.

But these are not typical days. "Yesterday it rained. I didn't even go out," says <a href="https://www.massgeneral.org/children/doctors/18707/mark-pasternack">Pasternack</a>, who heads the pediatric infectious disease unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. Instead of meeting patients face-to-face, he now calls them by phone from his house. "I lost my walk." The switch from hospital to home is one of many precautions Pasternack has taken to protect himself and others as COVID-19 continues to spread <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fcases-in-us.html">across all 50 states</a>. Pasternack shared with Business Insider how the safeguards he's taken impact nearly every part of his daily life. <h2>Working from home</h2>Beyond the virtual visits with patients, Pasternack is keeping a safe distance from his colleagues. He's stopped holding in-person meetings with the other doctors at his practice - such gatherings could risk crippling the hospital's capacity to treat patients. "If all seven of the infectious disease doctors are forced to be quarantined at once, the department has lost all its expertise for two weeks minimum," says Pasternack. He believes some of these practices could stick around for longer than the COVID-19 pandemic itself. "This may well change the practice of ambulatory care in America for the long haul," says Pasternack, adding that the emergency precautions he's taking now could spur wider adoption of telemedicine for certain medical care in the future. "Much of what we do in medicine is, in fact, verbal communication," says Pasternack. "A face-to-face visit in the office is not the end-all, be-all." <h2>Avoiding a feeding frenzy</h2>Pasternack is cautious about how - and when - he and his wife buy food. "We try to shop at odd hours when the stores are not crowded," says Pasternack, who shopped for groceries at 7:30 AM this morning. "We have not gone to some of the popular stores, like Trader Joe's, during peak Sunday afternoon rush hour." He adds that some products pose a greater contagion risk than others. For example, people tend to poke and prod fresh produce more often than canned goods. "Maybe that tomato that looked okay to you didn't look okay to someone else, and they picked it up, squeezed it, and put it back on the shelf." While the uncertainty hasn't stopped Pasternack from buying <a href="https://www.insider.com/long-lasting-fresh-food-produce-stock-up-work-from-home-coronavirus-shopping">fruits and vegetables</a>, it's made him "more attentive about <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-safely-clean-your-produce-to-prevent-coronavirus-2020-3">washing things off</a> before using." And after each trip to the grocery store, with all its surfaces exposed to countless people, Pasternack's first stop is the kitchen sink. "<a href="https://www.insider.com/how-long-should-you-wash-your-hands">Hand hygiene</a> is really important." <h2>Family time from afar</h2>Pasternack says the most difficult precaution he's taken is to distance himself from his daughter and two grandsons who live nearby. "We've been banished from seeing them," says Pasternack. "We really feel like we're missing out in a serious way." While Pasternack and his wife sometimes go on walks near their family, they maintain a six-foot distance and never go inside together. Their grandsons, both younger than four, struggle with this new normal. "They don't understand what's going on," says Pasternack. Despite the hardship, he knows these measures are necessary. "Grandparents and grandchildren should be kept separate," says Pasternack, who, at age 69, would have an <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-groups/high-risk-complications.html">elevated risk</a> of complications if he caught COVID-19. According to the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the US, so far,<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-groups/high-risk-complications/older-adults.html"> 11% to 31%</a> of people ages 65 to 84 need to be treated with intensive care. As an infectious disease doctor amid a <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/11/814474930/coronavirus-covid-19-is-now-officially-a-pandemic-who-says">global pandemic</a>, Pasternack feels a heightened responsibility to model the right behavior. "We have to maintain in exemplary fashion all of the standard recommendations," says Pasternack. "We're doing the best we can." <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="74747597" title="Delhi may be locked down if required: CM Arvind Kejriwal" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

<keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus">Coronavirus</keyword> has started spreading in India and there have <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/coronavirus-new-confirmed-cases-news-and-updates/articleshow/74506366.cms">31 confirmed cases</a> so far in the country. Around the world, around 99,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus and over 3,300 people have lost their lives. How does coronavirus spread? The coronavirus can spread from person-to-person through the respiratory droplets produced when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Apart from this, a person can also get coronavirus by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose or eyes. <div type="image" title="Coronavirus" msid="74514875" hostid="261"></div>

 As per a <a href="https://www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-6701(20)30046-3/fulltext">report</a> by The Journal of Hospital Infection, the human coronavirus strain can remain infectious from 2 hours to up to 9 days. WHO has <a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters">said</a> that coronavirus can stay on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. Your smartphone may also carry coronavirus Your smartphone may be a vector for coronavirus, meaning that it may get infected when you go out.

While prices of surgical masks have increased by ten times, hand sanitizers have gone out of stock, further spreading panic. While surgical face masks cannot protect you against coronavirus completely, people are lining up outside pharmacies. The reason is that these masks are not thick enough to filter out viruses. Surgical mask prices shoot by up to twenty times Nonetheless, people in Hyderabad are hoarding these masks after news broke out about <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/coronavirus-hits-hyderabads-it-hub-raheja-mindspace-tech-park-evacuated/articleshow/74475926.cms">two new confirmed cases</a> of coronavirus in the city. Business Insider reached out to a few pharmacies in Hyderabad who confirmed that there was a sudden surge in demand. As a result, chemists have jacked up the prices of surgical masks from approx. ₹3-5 to ₹25-30 per mask. Wholesalers have increased prices from ₹220 for a pack of 100 masks to anywhere between ₹600-900. The situation is worse on Amazon. A pack of 100 masks costs anywhere between ₹1,775 to ₹4,850, suggesting how bad the situation is. <div type="image" title="surgical face mask prices" msid="74489651" hostid="261"></div>

 For example, <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Vivan-surgical-Face-Mask-Disposable/dp/B078MQG56S/">this pack</a> of 100 masks is currently available on Amazon for ₹3,699, which previously retailed at just ₹149. <div type="image" title="face masks order" msid="74489668" hostid="261"></div>

 Hand sanitizers go out of stock on Amazon Hand sanitizers, which are generally available in abundance on Amazon, have now gone out of stock. We tried purchasing <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Dettol-Instant-Hand-Sanitizer-Original/dp/B07V6C9PYP">Dettol hand sanitizer</a> on Amazon. <div type="image" title="hand sanitizer out of stock" msid="74489690" hostid="261"></div>

 We tried multiple addresses in different states to see if the order was accepted, but nothing worked. It’s not all bad, though – we checked out several retail stores and supermarkets in Hyderabad, and can confirm that hand sanitizers can still be purchased at regular prices. Why is this happening? People are rushing to buy face masks and hand sanitizers as they believe these products will soon go out of stock. This would leave them vulnerable at a time when there is a fear of coronavirus outbreak in Hyderabad and other parts of India. While it is still possible to buy surgical face masks, the prices have gone through the roof. In any case, these masks are not effective enough to keep the dreaded virus at bay. An N95 respirator is the more useful option, but the Centers for Disease Control and Protection doesn’t recommend it just yet.

CDC head says US coronavirus outbreak could be controlled if '90% of Americans' follow safety guidelines like wearing a mask

In the all-caps tweet near midnight, Trump continued that "AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!"The period Trump seemed to refer to <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/coronavirus-guidelines-america/">began on March 16,</a> when in a coronavirus task force briefing at the White House the president announced "new guidelines for every American to follow over the next 15 days as we combat the virus." It will end on March 31. The "social distancing" guidelines urged Americans to work from home where possible, and avoid social gatherings and trips to bars and restaurants as part of a series of measures to slow the spread of the disease.They are much less severe than those in other countries with comparable outbreaks, though some cities and states have gone further on their own initiative.REUTERS/Jeenah Moon/File PhotoAn empty street is seen in Manhattan borough following the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in New York City, U.S., March 15, 2020.As the US economy plummets, with mass layoffs and businesses across the country closed until further notice, it seems patience in the White House is wearing thin. <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-23/trump-weighs-easing-stay-at-home-advice-to-curb-economic-rout">Bloomberg, citing sources familiar</a> with the president's thinking, reported Monday that Trump last week had considered slackening some of the restrictions.Among those who back Trump are Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, according to the report, while NIAID director Anthony Fauci believes that keeping the measures in place is the only way to defeat the virus. <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/vice-president-mike-pence-says-feds-may-let-those-exposed-to-virus-return-to-work-with-masks">Earlier on Sunday,</a> Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the White House's coronavirus task force, said that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would announce that people exposed to the virus could be allowed to return to work if they wear a mask for a certain period. Yamiche Alcindor, PBS News' White House correspondent, tweeted that the ease-up on the restrictions would be announced Monday. Gary Cohn, the former Director of the National Economic Council, tweeted on Sunday that businesses needed a clear timeframe for how long the measures would last. "Is it time to start discussing the need for a date when the economy can turn back on? Policymakers have taken bold public health &amp; economic actions to address the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/coronavirus?src=hashtag_click">#coronavirus</a>, but businesses need clarity. Otherwise they will assume the worst and make decisions to survive," he wrote. The economic forecasts make grim reading, with <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/echoes-of-the-great-depression-us-economy-could-post-biggest-contraction-ever-2020-03-19">JP Morgan predicting a 14% Q2 slump,</a> the biggest in US history.The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/rethinking-the-coronavirus-shutdown-11584659154">Wall Street Journal editorial board on March 19</a> wrote that "federal and state officials need to start adjusting their anti-virus strategy now to avoid an economic recession that will dwarf the harm from 2008-2009 [The Great Recession]."The prospect of easing restrictions, has alarmed some experts. Public health officials have refused to put a timeline on how long the restrictions could last, with Fauci <a href="https://www.ccn.com/anthony-faucis-weeks-of-coronavirus-self-isolation-will-destroy-u-s-economy/">in an interview last week</a> saying it could be "several weeks."Wuhan, in China, is just beginning to slacken its harsh lockdown rules after two months. European countries are also preparing for a long period of restrictions after implementing harsh lockdowns in the past two weeks. The latest figures from sources including <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/22/these-charts-show-how-fast-coronavirus-cases-are-spreading.html">Johns Hopkins University show coronavirus</a> infections in the US continuing to rise sharply, with 34,354 recorded in the US and 414 deaths as of early March 23.The lack of widespread testing in the early days of the outbreak means the full number of people infected in the US is likely higher. Tom Bossert, a former Department of Homeland Security adviser on Monday, tweeted: "Sadly, the numbers now suggest the U.S. is poised to take the lead in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/coronavirus?src=hashtag_click">#coronavirus</a> cases. It's reasonable to plan for the US to top the list of countries with the most cases in approximately 1 week. This does NOT make social intervention futile. It makes it imperative!" <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-coronavirus-contradicting-public-health-officials-2020-3">6 times Trump contradicted public officials about the coronavirus pandemic</a></h3>
