Introduction

A new respiratory infectious disease, COVID-19, caused by a new coronavirus


called SARS-CoV-2, emerged in early December 2019. Since then, the virus has
spread to India and 106 other countries in Asia, Europe, North America, Africa,
and Oceania. On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the
outbreak a pandemic, which has since rapidly evolved. As an economic hub with
substantial global connectivity and movement of people and goods, India is
directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is too early to gauge
the full spectrum of the outbreak’s social and economic impacts, COVID-19 has
already caused lockdowns in China, Korea, and in many countries in Europe, and
in some states of India, suspension of schools and universities, disruption of food
systems and other supply chains, as well as a slowdown in trade between India
and rest of the world.

Why it is called COVID 19

COVID-19 is the name of the disease caused by the SARS-CoV2 virus. Viruses and the
diseases they cause have different names. For example, AIDS is the disease caused by the
human immunodeficiency virus, HIV.

As mentioned above, COVID-19 is an acronym. In its full form, COVID-19 stands for
coronavirus disease of 2019.

What does a good personal hygiene routine look like?

We are aware that one must have a daily personal hygiene routine and that it is important –
but what does it involve? We’ve compiled some of the steps in the write-up below so that
your family can follow them to keep themselves clean and free of pesky germs that could
cause a future illness.

Handwashing

The first place to start with your personal hygiene routine is your hands. We use our hands
constantly during the day, touching many different surfaces, shaking hands with people,
eating our meals, typing on the laptop or using a common telephone at work, or even playing
at school. Naturally, our hands are the biggest carriers of germs.

One of the quickest and simplest ways to ensure that your family is safe from illness is to
practice good hand hygiene. It can keep illnesses such as cold, cough, flu and gastroenteritis
(these can all be contracted or passed on through poor hand hygiene) at bay. You can stop the
spread of illness-causing germs by washing your hands frequently with water and soapYou
should wash your hands:

 Before eating or cooking food


 Before picking up a baby
 After visiting the toilet
 After coughing or sneezing, or being in contact with someone who is ill
 After being in contact with animals

Dental Care

Caring for your teeth and practicing good oral hygiene wards off gum disease, bad breath,
tooth decay and many infections. Remember to always:

 Make sure you and your family brushes their teeth twice a day – after breakfast, and
before bediv
 Floss the teeth daily
 Store your tooth brush in a clean, dry place and replace it regularly

Bathing

Do shower every day using warm water and soap. You could consider showering twice a day
when the weather is warm. Daily bathing is an integral part of good personal hygiene
because:

 Bathing daily with soap such as and warm water prevents body odour because it kills
the odour-causing bacteria.
 Skin infections such as Athlete’s Foot can be reduced by carefully washing and
drying the affected areas daily.
 Shampoo and condition your hair at least once a week to keep the scalp clean and
prevent head lice.
 After being out all day or being caught in an unexpected downpour, get home and
take a warm shower using a soap like Dettol Gold Bar Soap to remove any harmful
germs from your body.

Hygienic Clothes

Germs and dirt can cling to your clothes, too. Wash the clothes you wear after each use so
that these germs and impurities are removed.

Personal hygiene is not difficult. Once you have a personal hygiene routine in place, it
becomes a habit in no time. It is also important to set an example for your children so that
they can also have their own personal hygiene routines to follow.

IMPORTANT ROLE PLAYED BY THE DOCTORS HEALTH CARE WORKER,


POLISH ETC

We should all be afraid about that reaction to COVID-19. If this pandemic can be compared
to a war, we have sent our soldiers—our medical professionals—to the front lines without the
protection and protocols they need to survive. Physicians, nurses, and other hospital workers
are overwhelmed by endless streams of patients, the extra-long hours, and the deaths they see
all around them. Scared and confused, they fight on. We should expect that when their duty is
done, some of our best and brightest will decide never to return to the battlefield again.
In this respect, this pandemic is an extension of the ordinary. The United States routinely
neglects the needs of one of its most vital workforces. If COVID-19 has any silver linings,
the most important one will be its exposure of the fault lines in American healthcare,
including the fact that even before the epidemic hit, healthcare professionals were suffering
from toxic levels of burnout that hampers their ability to care about their patients.

More broadly, this epidemic shows that many aspects of the way we speak and think about
healthcare, and the way we provide it, need to be reconceived and redesigned. To do that, we
need to listen to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.

I will like to thank all doctors, healthcare, workers polish etc the way they helped us
in this situation are really appreciable. I would appreciate them by sending virtual message by
poster making,by funding in prime minister relief fund etc
