By this time, everyone is aware of the word "CORONA" or "COVID 19". Finally we are here to address the elephant in the room. You all know the precautions to be taken to avoid transmission of the virus. For those who have doubts (don't worry), continue reading the post. And those who know, please don't quit reading. This post contains information on what all you can do even after the lock down is over. Because as we all know, this virus is going to be around for a while!
1. WASH YOUR HANDS- at least for 20 sec (if you are using handwash) and for 1 min (if you are using a soap).
Do you know why washing hands is so important? Because this virus can survive on various surfaces for quite a long time. When you touch one of these surfaces and touch your face it can easily enter your body.
2. Use an alcohol based hand sanitizers.
3. Use your ELBOWS or TISSUES to cough or sneeze. Disposing the tissue into a closed dust bin is as important as coughing into it.
4. SOCIAL DISTANCING- these viruses are found to be transmitted via droplets. So even if a person is just talking, there are chances their saliva may come in contact with your skin. To avoid this it is important to maintain at least 2 meter or 6 feet distance from other people.
5. MOUTH MASK- The use of mouth mask has been made mandatory in many countries. But you should know the effectiveness of mouth mask is questionable in outdoors. So your best bet is to avoid going outside. In unavoidable circumstances, you must use a hand rub/ handwash before wearing it. And don't adjust your mask frequently.
You must never re-wear a mouth mask. Knowing how to properly use and dispose a mask is as important as wearing a mask itself.
You can never be too precautious. Don't get a false sense of protection by wearing a mouth mask. It doesn't protect you completely. But social distancing and staying at home can.
The best gift to give your children at this time is protecting yourself. So that you don't transfer the virus to them.
Many asymptomatic cases have been reported in our country. So you are not COVID negative unless the test says otherwise. This being said, try not to cuddle or kiss your children for a few months. This will be hard but life is more important.
You must avoid kissing or sharing food particularly. Why? Because saliva is the main source of infection even in asymptomatic cases.
1. Avoid being in an enclosed crowded space.
2. Washing your hands frequently and sneezing/ coughing into your elbow applies for eternity.
3. Never spit in public places.
4. Be very careful when handling currencies.
5. Avoid using handkerchief instead you can use a disposable tissues.
Lets continue practicing proper hygiene this pandemic has taught us which we should have done long before. But hey, better late than never right!
In the mean time, take care of your teeth as well. Use this quarantine time to develop the habit of having proper oral care routine. Refer our previous posts to know better.
