Cities all over the world are currently under different kinds of quarantine or lockdown. This is a precautionary measure to help flatten the curve and prevent transmission of Covid-19.
As our modern heroes, the frontliners, are all fighting the virus, here are some things that we could do as responsible homeliners.
1. WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY
The virus could be transmitted through contaminated surfaces or objects.
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touch their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but the experts are still learning more about this virus. That's why it is important to wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. Also, routinely clean frequently touched surfaces.
2. AVOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES, NOSE, AND MOUTH
It is extremely important to refrain from touching these key areas of the body where a person could possibly acquire the virus. Better safe than sorry.
3. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF FEELING UNWELL
Observe your body. If you feel unwell specially if you have been exposed to an infected person, seek medical attention right away.
4. MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCING
Since the virus is mainly transmitted through close contact from person-to-person in respiratory droplets, it is important to maintain safe distance. People who are infected often have symptoms of illness but asymptomatic people could also spread the virus.
5. EAT HEALTHY FOOD AND TAKE SUPPLEMENTS TO HELP BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Prevention is always better than cure. If you have a strong immune system, then you will have lesser chance to catch the virus. So help your own body to be more resilient to fight off the virus naturally.
