Tips To Protect Yourself And Those Around You From The Spread of Coronavirus Disease

Below are several methods you can adopt to protect yourself and others from getting the new corona virus.

Frequently clean your hand by using an alcohol based product like gel or wash your hand with soap and water

Avoid over-reliance on hand sanitizers. All other safety precautions are equally important.
Wash your hands regularly.

Maintain at least 2meters distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing
Avoid staying in crowds.

Use of face masks may not provide total protection against Coronavirus. Practicing everyday precautionary measures remains the best form of prevention.
Stop panic buying of masks. They are only necessary if you develop symptoms like sneezing and coughing.

Cover your mouth and nose with your flexed elbow or tissue-paper when coughing and sneezing. Then dispose of the used tissue-paper immediately.
Always practice good respiratory hygiene.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Wash your hands with soap and water regularly.
Promote good personal hygiene.

Antibiotics do not work against viruses. Don't use as a means of prevention or treatment of COVID-19.
If you develop symptoms like headache, cough, or slight running nose, seek medical attention immediately and inform the office in advance.
Avoid self-medication.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are feeling unwell, seek medical attention.

Characterizing COVID-19 as a "PANDEMIC" is not an indication that the virus has become deadlier. Rather, it is an acknowledgement of the disease's geographical spread.
Stay calm and continue to follow all precautionary measures.

Drinking alcohol or spraying chlorine all over the body will not kill viruses that have already entered the body system.
Under appropriate guidelines, chlorine and alcohol can only be useful to disinfect surfaces.

Regularly rinsing your nose with salt-water does not prevent against respiratory infections, including COVID-19.
Avoid substance abuse.

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early and share information about any recent travels with your health care provider.

If you just have mild respiratory symptoms and no specific travel history, carefully follow the precautions explained above and make sure you stay home until recovery.
