COVID-19: Actions for Prevention and Control in our Communities

0

During a global pandemic, one of the cheapest, easiest, and most important ways to prevent the spread of a virus is to follow and obey laid down guidelines/protocols to the latest.

Keeping safe during the coronavirus is everyone’s top priority. It’s important to keep those who are more vulnerable safe. By following these tips, along with guidance from the NCDC and public health officials, you can help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Wash your hands regularly.

Using antibacterial soap to wash for 20 seconds and dry your hands thoroughly. If you don’t have soap, use hand sanitizer. Also, avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose and mouth.

Wear a Nose and Mouth Covering:

If you must venture out, be sure to wear a cloth face covering at all times.

Practice Social Distancing:

Keep about six feet away from others as often as possible especially at gatherings and possible crowded places.

Skip handshakes and hugs.

COVID-19 spreads primarily through person-to-person contact, via respiratory droplets formed when a sick person coughs or sneezes. Instead, consider waving or simply smiling and saying “hello.”

Practice cough etiquette.

Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue when you cough or sneeze, dispose of it properly and then wash or sanitize your hands. Don’t reuse your tissues.

Disinfect daily. 

Keeping your home clean and disinfected will prevent the spread of coronavirus, and any other lurking germs. Remember surfaces like faucets, door knobs, refrigerator door handles and toilets.

Self-quarantine.

When it comes to staying home, it’s better to be safe and stay put if you’ve traveled or come into contact with someone who has COVID-19. Even if you don’t have symptoms. If you start to feel ill, use self isolation or call to see your doctor.

What if you suspect you have coronavirus?

If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever, cough or difficulty breathing, you can speak to your Doctor or Care providers within your community to help determine if testing is needed and advise you on where you should go. You can also call your doctor for medical advice.
