Fight Covid-19 with precautions

Fight Covid-19 with precautions. Be it health professionals or the common people, the focus must be on removing the fear and panic.

It is extremely important for the allied healthcare professionals to be aware of certain best practices such as the proper use of PPE and other equipment. They must also understand the minimum contact guidelines, apart from other aspects of managing patients with corona infection. In all kinds of communities, be it health professionals or the common people, the focus must be on removing the fear and panic.

In case someone from your locality or apartment tests positive, the key is to remain calm and take precautions rather than induce panic. If you have Corona symptoms, it is important to buy an SpO2 monitor and measure the levels during the morning and evening. If the level is falling, then you need to undertake treatment.

Some points to keep in mind

1. If our contact time is less than 30 minutes with a person with Corona but both are wearing mask, there is no need to worry.

2. If your contact time is more than 30 minutes, there is still no need to worry. Monitor yourself and symptoms.

3. If there is a Covid-positive patient around you, do not discriminate against them. Give them support and ensure that you take precautions.

4. Do not be perturbed about deaths in people with comorbidities. They are already suffering from a health condition and the mortality may be due to lack of precautions.

5. Make sure you take a preventive approach especially if you have associated health conditions.
