长期来看，紫外线辐射会破坏细胞中的脱氧核糖核酸（DNA），进而可能引发癌症。太阳光中也有紫外线。因此不建议使用日光浴床。

医院和实验室经常使用紫外线灯灭菌，但是在无人的环境下使用。

3. Eating garlic is not protective

吃大蒜没有保护作用

Garlic is a healthy food that may have some antimicrobial properties, the WHO said.

世界卫生组织说，大蒜是一种健康食品，可能具有某些抗菌特性。

However, there is no evidence from the current outbreak that eating garlic has protected people from the novel coronavirus.

但从目前的疫情来看，没有证据表明吃大蒜能使人们免受新型冠状病毒感染。

An online post went viral after claiming a bowl of boiled garlic water can cure the novel coronavirus.

之前有网帖称，煮开的大蒜水可以杀灭新型冠状病毒，随后该帖被疯狂转发。

Facebook has since blocked the post because 'the primary claims in the information are factually inaccurate.'
