kontaminovaný predmet

Osemdesiat percent ľudí vírus napadne potom, čo siahli na kontaminované predmety – kľučky, madla, nákupné košíky – a potom si neumyli ruky, alebo si ich len ľahko opláchli.
Example sentences:
Okrem drobných kvapôčok vo vzduchu sa totiž vírusy prenášajú aj cez kontaminované predmety. (Daily SME)
„Výsledky prinášajú kľúčové informácie o stabilite SARS-CoV-2, ktorý spôsobuje COVID-19 a naznačujú, že ľudia sa môžu vírusom nakaziť zo vzduchu a po siahnutí na kontaminované predmety,“ komentuje štúdiu na svojom webe NIH. (startitup.sk)

Fomit

Definition from Sk.mort:
Kľúčový rozdiel medzi fomitom a vektorom spočíva v tom, že fomit je neživý objekt, ktorý môže šíriť infekčné agens, zatiaľ čo vektor je živý organizmus, ktorý šíri chorobu.
Example sentences:
Nepriamy prenos kontaktov zahŕňa fomity; objekt, ktorý sa kontaminuje dotykom (fomit), potom infikuje dotykom. (New medic)
Peer comment(s):

disagree František Tomášik : Sú vlasy alebo koža neživé predmety? Fomit je kontaminovaný predmet, kontaminovaná vec.
