Biosecurity Standards

1. Hand hygiene
It consists of washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand
sanitizer.
• Washing hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty, or if exposure to spore-
forming microorganisms is proven or strongly suspected or after using the toilet. - Manual
washing (procedure duration 40–60 seconds): wet hands and apply soap; rub all surfaces
following each of the steps of the technique, dry thoroughly with a disposable towel; use
the towel to turn off the tap.
• Use of 70% alcohol-based preparation with health registration, if the hands are not visibly
dirty. - Hand rubbing (procedure duration 20–30 seconds): apply enough product to cover
all areas of the hands, following each step of the technique.

2. Protective Equipment
It is a set of various devices that can be used alone or in combination, and have for
object to form a barrier that prevents the contact of the virus.
The rational, correct and consistent use of PPE, that is, technique of donning and removing
and
Proper hand hygiene reduces the spread of pathogens. For use it
it requires an assessment of the risk of activities related to health care.
For the use to be effective and efficient, it is necessary to guarantee the quality of
protection such as viewers.

3. Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette

The objective is to contain respiratory secretions where they are produced and to avoid
contamination of the hands of the person who produces them. It is a measure key to source
control.

• All persons / patients should cover their nose and mouth with a handkerchief or the part
inner elbow when coughing or sneezing.
• Perform hand hygiene after coming into contact with respiratory secretions
(hand washing or disinfection with alcohol-based preparation).
 4. Use of surgical masks
Wearing a surgical mask is one of the prophylactic measures to limit the spread
of certain respiratory diseases, including COVID-19 infection, in areas affected.
• A mask does not provide sufficient protection on its own and others must be taken
equally important precautions. The mask must be combined with a
adequate hand hygiene and other measures for the prevention and control of
infections to prevent transmission of COVID-19 between people.
• Put the mask on carefully so that it covers the mouth and nose and knot it
firmly so that there are no gaps with the face; do not touch it while
be worn.
• As soon as the mask is damp, replace it with a clean and dry one. DO NOT reuse
single-use masks; discard immediately after use.

5. Social distancing
COVID-19 spreads easily through person-to-person physical contact. This is why it is
important to reduce the ways people come into contact with others. An effective way to do
this is to stay indoors as much as possible and avoid crowded public places where it is
difficult to maintain a healthy space between people. Covid can spread from person to
person even before symptoms begin. So if someone in your family begins to feel slightly
tired, exhausted, or sore, it is important to stay home and practice "self isolation." This
means limiting contact with others. If symptoms get worse, with fever, cough, and
shortness of breath (shortness of breath), call your doctor.
Make good decisions.

1. Know yourself
Self-knowledge is essential in the decision-making process. Knowing your tastes and
values, as well as your abilities and limitations will help you choose correctly.

2. Focus on the present

Think about the possible consequences that your choice can be positive; however,
overdoing it can lead to inaction. While it is important to consider the repercussions, the
reality is that we do not have the ability to predict the future.

3. Trust your instincts

You may think that to make good decisions it takes a long time to analyze various
alternatives and systematically weigh all the pros and cons. Sometimes a quick judgment
can be just as good, or even better.

4. Take your emotions into account

Your emotional state influences the decisions you make more than you think. Being happy,
sad, excited, or tired can cause you to make a hasty or pessimistic choice. Evaluate your
state of mind and how it is influencing your reasoning before deciding.

5. Identify the risks

Familiarity breeds comfort. You are likely to make decisions that are not good simply
because it is what you are used to. It may be that you have harmful habits and you may not
be aware of the damage they do to you. For example, there are people who eat fast food or
do not exercise frequently and believe that it is okay because so far they have not perceived
any damage to their body.

Did you know?

1. Meiosis was discovered and described for the first time in sea urchin eggs in 1876,
and this process was observed at the chromosome level in 1883, in the eggs of
parasitic worms of the genus Áscaris.
2. The moment DNA damage is detected, the checkpoint sends a signal that stops the
cell cycle until the DNA is repaired. If it cannot be repaired, the cell is marked to
 enter apoptosis or cell death. As you will see in the video, this capacity for cell
suicide is lost in many cancer cells that have damaged DNA, so they continue, even
showing damage, dividing.
3. The S phase is the only moment in which the cell duplicates its genetic material,
forming two identical copies of the DNA that existed in the G1 phase.
4. Although the process of cell division is highly controlled, failures can sometimes
occur, especially during the first cell divisions of the zygote. This fact can be very
dangerous, since all the cells that are formed from the defective stem cell will
inherit the abnormality. The effect of these genetic abnormalities depends on the
specific nature of the error. They can range from an imperceptible anomaly to the
death of the organism.
5. If the eukaryotic cell cycle took 24 hours, the INTERFACE would occupy 23 of
these, leaving only one hour for its division. It is normal that it takes so long, since
during this stage the cell doubles in size, doubles its genetic content and prepares
the necessary tools so that everything goes well in the formation of new cells.
6. Once the cell at the INTERFACE replicates its DNA, there is no going back in the
division process, unless it is detected that its DNA is damaged.
7. Cells have signaling systems that allow their DNA to be recognized and, if
something goes wrong, to be able to stop the process so as not to cause major
problems. If all is well, the cell is ready for its imminent proliferation.
8. Cancer is caused by mutations in DNA sequences, and although some of them are
caused by factors such as ultraviolet light and X-rays, others are caused simply by
errors in DNA replication. That is why all people are prone to developing the
disease, and if everyone lived long enough, at some point in their lives they would
suffer from it.
9. In 2009, a study from the Tokyo University of Agriculture found that a specific
gene that is activated only in men could determine why women live longer. The
gene allows men to develop bigger and stronger bodies, but at the cost of having a
shorter life span.
10. After the end of the interface, the cell enters the M phase with the aim of forming
new cells. MITOSIS results in two sister cells, of equal genetic content.
