00:03.350 --> 00:04.740
- [Narrator] The West
Virginia National Guard

00:04.740 --> 00:06.539
recently performed a risk analysis

00:06.539 --> 00:09.374
in consultation with the
World Health Organization

00:09.374 --> 00:11.930
and Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention

00:11.930 --> 00:14.210
on the transmission of COVID-19

00:14.210 --> 00:16.650
associated with packages or cargo.

00:16.650 --> 00:18.180
The research and testing found

00:18.180 --> 00:20.520
that it is in fact safe
to receive packages,

00:20.520 --> 00:23.770
even from areas that
COVID-19 has been reported.

00:23.770 --> 00:27.240
The likelihood of an infected
person contaminating a package

00:27.240 --> 00:29.740
and a person receiving a
package catching the virus

00:29.740 --> 00:31.510
are in the low risk category.

00:31.510 --> 00:33.110
Currently, there is no evidence to support

00:33.110 --> 00:36.090
transmission of COVID-19
associated with import

00:36.090 --> 00:37.210
or domestic goods.

00:37.210 --> 00:39.740
This is due to the poor
survivability of the coronavirus

00:39.740 --> 00:42.340
on surfaces, especially when
the products are shipped

00:42.340 --> 00:44.590
over a period of days and weeks.

00:44.590 --> 00:46.460
Although the risk is very low,

00:46.460 --> 00:47.900
the Joint Task Force Medical Group

00:47.900 --> 00:51.430
strongly advises personnel
handling any cargo or packages

00:51.430 --> 00:53.150
to perform the following.

00:53.150 --> 00:55.853
Don gloves when handling
any cargo or package.

00:58.100 --> 01:01.180
Disinfect the outside of
cargo by misting the packages

01:01.180 --> 01:02.993
with a 1:10 bleach solution.

01:04.466 --> 01:07.090
And always allow the cargo to dry

01:07.090 --> 01:08.453
if it is made of cardboard.

01:10.020 --> 01:12.610
Do not wipe the cargo if
it is made of cardboard.

01:12.610 --> 01:14.683
This could cause the material to degrade.

01:16.716 --> 01:20.030
Remove gloves following the
disinfection of the cargo,

01:20.030 --> 01:21.730
following the following procedure.

01:22.730 --> 01:25.840
Pinch and hold the outside of
a glove near the wrist area.

01:25.840 --> 01:27.550
Peel downwards, away from the wrist,

01:27.550 --> 01:29.040
turning the glove inside out.

01:29.040 --> 01:31.700
Pull the glove away until
it is removed from the hand,

01:31.700 --> 01:34.540
holding the inside out
glove with the gloved hand.

01:34.540 --> 01:37.760
With the ungloved hand, slide
two fingers under the wrist

01:37.760 --> 01:39.290
of the remaining glove.

01:39.290 --> 01:42.080
Do not touch the outside
surface of the glove.

01:42.080 --> 01:44.070
Peel downwards away from the wrist,

01:44.070 --> 01:46.070
turning the glove inside out.

01:46.070 --> 01:47.850
Continue to pull the glove down

01:47.850 --> 01:49.520
and over the inside out glove,

01:49.520 --> 01:51.780
being held with the gloved hand.

01:51.780 --> 01:54.730
Dispose of the gloves
in a lined trash can.

01:54.730 --> 01:55.563
For any questions,

01:55.563 --> 01:59.980

Medical Group at 304-366-6384.
