Do you want to prepare for the Coronavirus? The following steps will help you.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread around the world. It has infected more than 152,000 people and killed more than 5,700 people, according to WHO, which has declared this virus a pandemic. These numbers continue to rise each day and governments are trying their best to stop the spread of this virus.
The coronavirus belongs to a large family of viruses that are known to have caused SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) that affected some countries more than a decade ago. Some people say that the Interferon Alpha 2B is the antidote for this virus, but nothing is conclusive yet. Up till now there is no medication or vaccination for this virus. Hence, you have to take responsibility and prepare for this virus.
Here is how you can prepare for the coronavirus:
Wash Your Hands
The best thing you can do to prepare yourself against Coronavirus is to keep your hands clean. Every time you come home, wash your hands with a high-quality soap. Make sure you rinse your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap before you wash them with water. Repeat the process a couple of times during the day. If you are outside, carry a hand sanitizer with you. Your sanitizer should have at least 60% alcohol.
Cover Your Face
To keep yourself as well as others around you safe from the coronavirus germs, make sure you cover your face. Surgical masks are readily available at pharmaceutical stores and dispensaries. These masks have an absorbent layer on the inside and a waterproof layer on the outside. Masks are great at capturing respiratory droplets, which is how coronavirus spreads.
Do not use the same mask for too long, and replace it with a new one after having worn it for a long time. If you don’t have a mask, every time you sneeze or cough, make sure you cover your face with a tissue paper and throw it away after using it.
Physical Distancing
Nowadays, most people are confusing physical distancing with social distancing, which is wrong. To prevent the spread of Coronavirus, you must stay away from others. This doesn’t mean that you stop talking to them via call, SMS or social media. Try to avoid going into public settings and crowded spaces. If going out is inevitable, try maintaining a distance of at least 3 feet.
Clean Your Home
Lastly, don’t forget to clean your home and disinfect it. Germs can stay alive for several hours on various surfaces in your home. Make sure your home is regularly cleaned and disinfected with an EPA approved disinfectant. If cleaning is difficult for you, seek help from a professional cleaning company in Chandler, AZ.
Coronavirus can’t be taken lightly, so take heed. Stay clean, stay inside your homes and stay safe.
