What Do People Do To Avoid Coronavirus ?

Corona virus pandemic is still an unsettling plague. No fewer than 170 countries
all around the world have been infected with the virus which was first discovered in
Wuhan, China. Fear of being infected by corona virus is a common thing in the
current situation. Government and paramedics have tried their best to reduce the
number of people who tested positive for COVID-19 by doing such things like rapid
tests, educating, health protocols, updating news about the virus, and many more.
Keep in mind that you can help lessen their burden. How ? By avoiding the virus. The
following are several ways that people must do to avoid the corona virus.
First, wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and
water are not available. This way you can kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Second, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Hands
touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer
the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and
can make you sick.
Third, practice respiratory hygiene. Droplets spread virus. By following good
respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu
and COVID-19. Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory
hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue
when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.
Fourth, maintain social distance. When someone coughs or sneezes they spray
small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are
too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person
coughing has the disease. Maintain at least 1 metre distance between yourself and
anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Fifth, stay at home - no unnecessary journeys or social contact. This also means
don’t visit other people’s houses or socialize outside your home. Only leave home for
essential shopping, medical needs, and exercise.
Last, stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider.
National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on whether
COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in
your area should be doing to protect themselves.
That was some things that you must do to avoid corona virus. Do these on daily
basis and don’t panic. Always aware to the latest update, stay healthy, and pray so
that this pandemic can over quickly. Thank you for reading.
