Travar a propagação (short version)

World Health Organization (WHO) published this video item, entitled “Travar a propagação (short version)” – below is their description.

Quando um vírus circula livremente uma população, causando várias infeções, a sua possibilidade de sofrer uma mutação aumenta. Quanto mais oportunidades um vírus tiver de se propagar, mais se replica e mais oportunidades tem para sofrer mutações.

É fundamental travar a propagação na fonte. As atuais medidas de redução da transmissão, incluindo a lavagem frequente das mãos, o uso de máscara, o distanciamento físico e o afastamento de multidões ou locais fechados, continuam a funcionar contra as novas variantes, reduzindo a quantidade da transmissão viral e, desse modo, reduzindo igualmente as oportunidades para o vírus sofrer mutações.

Aprenda mais sobre as vacinas, desde o modo como atuam e como são fabricadas, para garantir a segurança e o acesso equitativo na série da OMS “Explicação sobre vacinas”.
