Why do we continue to carry out practices that do not work to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2?

Abstract

In Honduras, it was common for shopping centers and offices to spray disinfectants on the skin and clothes, as well as the use of disinfectant mats. Additionally, there was the practice of spraying car tires and tunnels were also installed for spraying cars, until it was discouraged due to cost and lack of scientific evidence. It is necessary to inform and raise awareness among citizens so that they refrain from using practices that have no evidence of being useful in combating the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and that may be harmful to their health and the environment.
