How to Protect Yourself from corona virus,& its spread ?
The best way to slow the spread of the virus is to limit your
contact with other people. This will help flatten the curve. There are a few ways to do this:
- Work from home if you can.
- Avoid travel when possible. This is especially
important if you or someone you live with is older or has a health
condition that raises the chances of serious COVID-19 illness.
- Visit with family and friends by phone and computer
instead of in person.
- If you must go out, stand at least 6 feet away from
people, and wear a cloth face mask.
- Wash your hands often.
- If you’re sick, stay in a separate bedroom away from
others in your home.
- Do your shopping, especially for groceries or
drugstore items, online if possible.
- Keep your pets away from people and animals outside
your home. Cats should stay indoors as much as possible.
- Clean up pet waste properly. Wash your hands
afterward and after you touch them, their food, or their toys.
- If you have COVID-19 symptoms, limit contact with
your pet. If you can’t have someone else take care of your animals, wear a
cloth face mask when you’re around them, and wash your hands before and
after you interact with them.
It may seem extreme to limit large
gatherings, ask people to work from home, and close schools, restaurants, and
theaters. But health experts say these are the best ways to slow the spread of
the virus. As some places ease these rules, keep in mind that the virus hasn’t
gone away. Be careful about your contact with others.
When to Quarantine or Isolate
To stop the spread of coronavirus, people
who are sick need to self-quarantine, or stay away from those who are well.
Because you may not show symptoms right away, you should also self-quarantine
if you know that you've come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.
- Stay at home.
- Don't have visitors.
- Wash your hands often with soap and warm water.
- Don't share personal items like dishes, utensils,
and towels.
- Clean frequently touched surfaces like counters,
doorknobs, phones, and remote controls.
If you've tested positive for
COVID-19, isolate yourself. Stay
at home in a room that's separate from everyone else, if possible. Avoid
contact with other people and pets. Wear a face mask when you have to be near
other people.
If your symptoms get worse, call your
doctor or hospital before you go in. Follow their instructions to get medical
help.
Isolate yourself until there's no chance
that you could spread the virus. Your
doctor can tell you when it's safe to stop.
