The whole world is now facing a pandemic in the form of the coronavirus outbreak. This outbreak has caused a major portion of the world to go under complete lockdown and all the activities and travels have been completely suspended. Most of us are sitting in our homes, worried but this is not the time to be worried, this is the time for us to adopt some simple strategies that can help the nation fight against the COVID-19.
Given below are some of the most simple measures we can effectively use as the most useful strategies in the fight against corona virus and keep ourselves and our families safe.
Social distancing
This is the most simple, yet effective strategy to break the chain of contamination through the virus. Social distancing means minimizing contact with outsiders. The best way to do is to stay at your home and even if you go outside for something important maintain at least 3 feet of distance.
Lockdown
This is something the whole world is going through right now. Lockdown means a complete prohibition on the normal activities sans the emergency services and this is aimed at enforcing social distancing and also to eliminate large gatherings in common places where the virus could transmit. We are under lockdown right now and the health service staffers are working hard for our safety so we must comply with the lockdown and we can win the fight against the coronavirus.
Using masks, sanitizer
Always use sanitizers and wear masks wherever you go. Keeping clean hygiene is the key to prevent transmission and infection from this virus. This is not only for you, but is also for the safety of your family.
Using medicines like hydroxychloroquine
There is no need to panic and take normal medicines like paracetamol as a precaution if you observe signs of illness. But a word of caution, before you consume hydroxychloroquine, it is very strong medicine and therefore consult with a doctor before taking any of them.
New vaccine trials
New vaccine strains are being tested as you read this article. So the health workers and researchers are tirelessly working to get us out of this situation and we must maintain these simple strategies to make their efforts fruitful. This is the time for us to fight against the coronavirus.
