Care during Corona Spread

Corona! by hearing this term, everyone will be frightened…upset…automatically his/her immunity will go down. Is it yes? Of course! COVID 19, Coronavirus is a group of related RNA viruses that cause disease in mammals and birds. In humans, this virus leads to RTI (Respiratory Tract Infection). Infection ranges from mild to fatal. COVID patients are increasing day by day so that getting panic does no benefit, instead, precaution helps!

Carelessness during COVID time matters. These are a few steps to be taken during this crucial time to prevent this type of infection until vaccination is discovered and make it practically applicable.

Preventive measures for Covid-19

Remember:

1. Wash your hand with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (This period of time is important for the virus to destroy).
2. Use of Alcohol-based sanitizer. While you come out of your house, like public places, when difficult in use of handwashing with soap, use an alcohol-based sanitizer (minimum 60% alcohol). But beware to wash your hands with soap before eating food. Don’t use a hand sanitizer nearby a stove, as it can inflame.
3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth without proper cleaning of hands as it can cause entry of Covid-19 virus to the body and thereby infection.

Masks once it is used on your face, don’t use it next time to the opposite side, as the contaminated surface meets your face. Always remove your masks with an elastic cord.
