Geneva, AFP. The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that spraying disinfectants on roads and streets will not eliminate the coronavirus. This type of spraying can prove harmful to the human body. WHO states that spraying a chemical does not eliminate viruses or pathogens present on the surface. Such spraying becomes ineffective by mixing in dirt and debris. Not only this, but there is also a possibility of infection due to it not reaching everywhere.
The WHO has clearly stated that under no circumstances should any type of disinfectant be sprayed on people.
