Should you have separate clothes and shoes to wear in public during the coronavirus crisis? - KPRC Click2Houston

HOUSTON – A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed coronavirus can live on cardboard for 24 hours and on stainless steel and plastic for up to three days. It can live on soft surfaces for even longer. It's possible the virus can survive on synthetic materials for as long as five days.

When studying shoes, scientists have determined the sole of a shoe is the main breeding ground for bacteria, fungi and viruses and many people conclude that your shoes could potentially be carrying something that could make you sick. Your chances are higher if you're wearing them in busy areas like supermarkets, airports or public transportation.

The University of Houston did a similar study looking at where inside your home bacteria from your shoes exist. They found in the doorways is where most germs accumulate, which is why some experts recommend leaving them in the garage or outside.

If you're in healthcare or working closely with the public, it's advised that you have clothes and shoes you wear at work and don't bring them into your house.

It's not a guarantee this will make you sick, it's just being extremely cautious during these uncertain times.

The other areas around your home that can carry a lot of germs: phone cases, door handles, computer keyboards and toilets. Clean these with alcohol or bleach.

Shoe designer Sergio Rossi dies of coronavirus complications at 84 - Page Six

Posted: 03 Apr 2020 07:07 AM PDT

Legendary footwear designer Sergio Rossi has died from coronavirus complications. He was 84.

Rossi was hospitalized for a few days in Cesena, Italy, prior to his passing, according to Footwear News.

"Sergio Rossi was a master, and it is my great honor to have met him and gotten to present him the archive earlier this year. His vision and approach will remain our guide in the growth of the brand and the business," Riccardo Sciutto, CEO of the Sergio Rossi Group, wrote on the brand's Instagram account on Friday to announce the news.

"He loved women and was able to capture a woman's femininity in a unique way, creating the perfect extension of a woman's leg through his shoes. Our long and glorious history started from his incredible vision and we'll remember his creativity forever."

Countless celebrities wore Rossi's sexy styles, including Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, Priyanka Chopra, Kylie Jenner, Laura Dern, Ariana Grande and more.

In March, the company announced that 100 percent of its online sales would go towards the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sergio Rossi was born in 1935 in San Mauro Pascoli, one of Italy's shoemaking regions, and launched his namesake brand in 1968.

Rossi is survived by his son Gianvito, who followed in his father's footsteps with his own highly successful shoe brand.

"There are those who have had the good fortune to transform their art into a work and those who have the extraordinary talent of transforming their work into a work of art. Sergio Rossi was this man. A husband, father, grandfather, and progenitor of a family that followed his example," Gianvito Rossi told Footwear News after his father's death.

"The family offers, with love, their last goodbye: 'With the unquenchable fire of your passion, you taught us that there are no limits for those who love what they do. Goodbye maestro.'"
