Shumakov" of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Candidate of Medical Sciences Daria Umrik on Tuesday, June 10.

The doctor explained that this virus is transmitted through contact with blood and can persist, for example, on nail scissors and cuticle clippers. Therefore, if the master does not follow the rules of disinfection and cuts the client, you can get infected.

"The repeated use of disposable tools, such as orange sticks or brushes, is also a wake—up call, because they can also get into an open wound and "give" the client not only hepatitis, but also a fungus, for example," the expert said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

She advised to clarify before signing up for the procedure how the masters comply with safety standards and SanPiN requirements, including whether they monitor the quality sterilization of surfaces and instruments.

"To minimize the risks, you can ask to perform only a hardware manicure, during which the risks of micro—cuts and inflammation are minimal," the doctor concluded.
