How is COVID-19 Being Taken Care of?
Different platforms and organisations such as the World Health Organisation and local public health authorities have made it a point to provide people with all the latest information on the outbreak of COVID-19. These platforms have released guides and scientific analysis, which have been fact-checked from verified sources, in order to teach people how to protect themselves from getting susceptible to the virus.
How Can I Protect Myself?
The COVID-19, which has a high RO factor in comparison to Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus virus and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, has the tendency to spread faster and take up time in showing up in a medical scan. No vaccines have yet been discovered to help prevent or cure the disease. However, in order to protect oneself from getting exposed to the symptoms of the virus, such methods should be practised:
- Maintaining good personal hygiene and encouraging others to do the same.
- Washing hands with an alcohol-based soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Wearing a face mask to open public spaces and always carrying one in a bag or a pouch.
- Avoid constantly touching the face.
- Using a sanitizer to disinfect
- Avoid consumption of raw or undercooked meat or poultry.
- Keeping away from live animal markets or stray animals.
- Keeping the mouth closed while coughing or sneezing.
- Using a tissue to wipe face, nose and mouth and immediately throwing the used tissue in the bin.
- Avoiding close contact with anybody facing flu-like symptoms.
- Using a cleanser or a disinfectant sprayer to fumigate household items.
