The rapid spread of the Coronavirus in restaurants and other communal facilities was demonstrated in a terrifying experiment conducted by Japanese TV channel NHK. In the experiment, one participant was ‘infected’ with fluorescent paint, symbolizing Covid-19, and as they partook in a buffet, a ‘blue light was turned on to reveal the far-reaching spread of the ‘virus’ among the participants. The results showed that the ‘virus’ spread from communal items to the hands of all the participants, with some even having the paint on their faces. This experiment serves to underscore the necessity of rigorous handwashing during the Coronavirus pandemic. The video below further illustrates the unsettling speed at which the virus can spread in such environments. Japan has reported 16,079 cases of coronavirus and 687 deaths, according to the country’s ministry of health.
