The chemicals used in disinfectant tunnels could harm or alter the body's natural bacteria which protect against diseases.
“Since the coronavirus does not enter through skin, there is no reason to spray the skin or clothing. Spraying chemicals on a person’s skin may alter the protective natural bacteria that are an important part of our protection against skin diseases and skin reactions.”The spraying of humans is not allowed in countries including the US, UK, India, Philippines and Malaysia.
“Applying sanitiser on hands only prevents the spread of many microbes, including the coronavirus. Since our hands may come into contact with contaminated surfaces and we may touch our mouths, noses or eyes with contaminated hands, it is important to wash our hands with soap or regularly rub our hands with an alcohol-based sanitiser.”The Hazardous Substances Act disallows the use of toxic substances which are corrosive and irritant and which cause illness and or death in humans.
