Tips On How To Reduce The Spread Of Coronavirus
How does the virus spread?
The virus spreads when a sick person sneezes without using a protection in front of his mouth. The person drops droplets which spread out onto a healthy person or persons around him and come in touch with your eyes, nose or mouth.
Symptoms
Fever
Cough
Shortness of Breath
If you have these symptoms, do not panic! These symptoms can also indicate any number of other illnesses including the cold, flu, and other viral infections.
Wash your hands with soap and water for not less than 20 seconds
Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if you cannot wash your hands
Keep your
distance - 2 metres is recommended safe.
Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
So points to
remember
Avoid crowds because you do not know who might be sick.
A sick person who
can be around you can get a variety of things around him and around you infected with his saliva through his hands or
through sneezing.
Carry around a hand sanitizer especially if you are going to touch the following things: door
knobs, public transport buses, digital devices, telephones, tissues, pens,
pencils, computer mouse, key pad, lift buttons, handrails and staircases,
banisters.
So one has to be
careful and washes his hands as soon as possible after having touched or
visited public places.
Viruses remain on
objects for up to 24 hours, and the only way to get rid of them is through
proper washing of hands.
There are four main precautions which you should follow:
Do not touch your face or anyone else’s face if your hands are dirty. If you need to do so first wash your hands very well.
You should not use a mouth mask for more than a day. Bacteria grows on the inner side of the mask if you wear them for too long.
Food should not be shared apart from utensils, glasses, plates, towels, sponges. Use a serving spoon.
The most important rule, always wash your hands as many times you feel it is required especially before touching food and utensils in your kitchen, before eating and after coming back from public places.
