Things To Do To Protect Yourself from the 2019 Novel Coronavirus.
- Boost your Immune System – Your immune system is the heart of your overall wellness. Keeping your immune system healthy can make your body untouchable by viral attacks and free radical invasion that could harm your internal organs and lead to diseases. A healthy immune system has the capability to combat the invading bacteria that develops into a disease.
- Wash your hands – going back to the basics is the 2nd most important thing to do. Washing of hands is one of the Personal Hygiene, a daily routine practice to care for our body. With or without an epidemic, it is necessary for individuals to make it a habit to wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before touching the face or before touching the food. Bacteria is everywhere especially in public places. We share bacteria with one another the moment we touch something in public. If soap and water is not available, you can use hand sanitizer or wipes to kill bacteria.
- Stay at home if possible. Avoid public places. If we really need to be in outside then wear a mask.
- Wear a Mask – Dr. Lawrence Wong, Singapore Minister for National Development said: Use the mask only if you are unwell and have to go out to see the doctor. Well, it’s better to be safe than take the risk. With this kind of deadly virus, we cannot compromise our health with the uncertainty of how healthy we really are. It is suggested that people use a surgical mask or the heavy duty N95 Respirator Mask. Using a mask can be beneficial in both ways. It protects you from acquiring the virus and it can also prevent infected individuals from spreading them.
- Make sure to use the correct face mask and use them properly. Using the incorrect face mask and or wearing the mask incorrectly do not protect you from acquiring or spreading the virus. You have to make sure that all areas that needs to be covered are properly covered.
- Avoid going to park and zoos for this virus is transmitted from animals to humans.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADVICE FOR THE PUBLIC by World Health Organization (WHO)
During previous outbreaks due to other coronavirus (Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), human-to-human transmission occurred through droplets, contact and fomites, suggesting that the transmission mode of the 2019-nCoV can be similar. The basic principles to reduce the general risk of transmission of acute respiratory infections include the following:
• Avoiding close contact with people suffering from acute respiratory infections.
• Frequent hand-washing, especially after direct contact with ill people or their environment.
• Avoiding unprotected contact with farm or wild animals.
• People with symptoms of acute respiratory infection should practice cough etiquette (maintain distance, cover coughs and sneezes with disposable tissues or clothing, and wash hands).
• Within healthcare facilities, enhance standard infection prevention and control practices in hospitals, especially in emergency departments.
