A detailed guide to defend against Coronavirus

We have witnessed a history of viruses over the years. But with enough information and correct guidelines, we can deal with the viruses better. Since we are in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, we need to ensure that we’re doing everything we can to safeguard ourselves against it. We don’t know the answer to, “When will this end” but we do have an answer to, “How do we defend ourselves against COVID-19.”

Guidelines:

According to WHO, you can reduce the chances of being infected or spreading Coronavirus disease by following these basic preventive measures:

• Handwashing:

  Ensure that you wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly. If you use a sanitizer or a hand-rub, ensure that it’s alcohol-based. The Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends an alcohol-based sanitizer with 60% alcohol. This will help ensure that you don’t contract the virus even if your hands have come in contact with it. Additionally, don’t touch your eyes or face directly after applying the sanitizer as it may cause irritation. (Source: WHO)

   

• Staying indoors:

  One of the best ways to defend yourselves from the virus and diminish the chances of getting infected is by staying indoors. Avoid going outside unless it’s absolutely essential and cannot be delayed. Staying indoors whilst in lockdown can get interesting if you maintain a routine, learn a new skill and focus on your academia or work. Additionally, this will reduce the burden on the frontline healthcare workers as well.

   

• Social distancing:

  When you do step out ensure that you are socially distant maintaining at least one meter i.e. 3 feet of distance from others. When a person speaks, sneezes or even coughs, they put you at risk if they are infected with the coronavirus disease. The droplets from their mouth and nose may enter your body if you are too close.

• Protective gear:

  Masks are as essential as footwear these days while stepping outside the house. It’s essential to stop the spread of coronavirus. Prefer using a clothor cotton mask if you are a non-medical person, as recommended by the Centre of Diseases and Prevention (CDC). Avoid wearing surgical masks as they are not washable and cannot be reused. Always wear gloves before stepping out of the house. This will ensure your hands don’t come in direct contact with any individual or surfaces, hence minimizingthe possibilities of getting infected.

   

• Maintain basic hygiene:

  It’s advisable to follow basic hygiene standards like covering your face while sneezing. Always use a tissue when you cough or sneeze. The droplets may spread the virus. Hence, dispose the used tissue immediately in the nearest dustbin

   

• Focus on immunity:

  Your immune system is responsible for fighting off any foreign antigen that enters your body. Strengthening your immune health by opting for homeopathic immune boosters will help you reduce the chances of getting infected. It has been asserted and recommended by AYUSH Ministry that the homeopathic medicine Arsenic Album-30is a prophylactic immune booster. AYUSH Ministry keeps a preventive approach while recommending Arsenic Album-30. It’s recommended to consume this homeopathic medicine on an empty stomach.
