14 Tips To Protect You Against Corona Virus (COVID-19) #Staysafe

1) Wash your hands regularly with clean water and any soap.

*Soap creates lather that penetrates the lipid membrane of the virus thereby weakening the virulence of the virus (its ability to infect host).
*Do not use strong detergents to wash your hands to avoid causing you contact allergies.

2)Wear face mask regularly.

*Face mask prevents the spread of the virus droplets from the infected person when coughs, talks or sneezes.
*But because an asymptomatic carrier can spread it and because nobody knows who is the carrier yet unless tested, it is advisable that you act as if you're infected by wearing face mask regularly. This will help to curb the viral spread.

3) Cover your mouth with tissue paper when coughing or sneezing and immediately dispose the tissue afterwards.

*But if no tissue available, cough or sneeze into the inner part of your elbow or cough into your clothes, and wash afterwards.

4) Avoid handshake and hugging for now.

5) Wash your hands with clean water and soap after touching any surfaces or pets.
*Although no scientific evidence that pets can transmit the virus yet, it is advisable to wash your hands after handling pets.

*Use alcohol-based sanitizers if no water and soap available.

*Always use alcohol to clean your handy gadgets like phones, tablets, laptops, bags, eyeglasses, etc regularly.

6)Please, kindly avoid crowded areas.

*Always maintain social distancing of at least 2 meters from anybody around you.

7)Always avoid touching your face (nose, eyes and mouth) with your hands.

*To curtail the unconscious temptation of touching your face with your hands, try using your less-dominant hand to touch surfaces like door knobs,  table, phones, laptops, etc.

*If you're right-handed, try using your left hands to touch surfaces for now and vice versa.

*This is because there is more tendency that you use your dominant hands to touch your face unconsciously.

😎 Please, avoid eating uncooked or improperly cooked animal products like meats, eggs, etc.

*This is because these animal products could be handled by infected hands.

9)Please, kindly boost your immune system.

*Eat balanced diets and natural foods.

*Drink enough water daily.

*Have enough sleep daily.

*Engage in exercises; at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75
minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity.

*Please, kindly avoid unhealthy lifestyles like smoking, drunkenness and unhealthy feeding habits to avoid weakening your immune system.
*Note: Strong immune system can fight off Corona Virus.

10) Do not fear.

* Fear weakens your immune system and can cause cardiovascular damage, etc

11) If you have any comorbidities (any underlying and maintenance diseases like Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Asthma, etc), please kindly take very good care of your health and avoid crowds as much as possible.

*Stay indoors as much as possible.

*Comply to your maintenance drugs.

12) If you are already aged or have aged parents and relatives, please kindly shield yourself or them from any possible exposures.

*Aged people and very young children are at higher risk of being infected.

13) If you present with fever, dysphagia and odynophagia  (sore throat), cough, and dyspnea (Difficulty of breathing), etc please kindly consult your doctor immediately.

14) Most importantly, pray to God to protect you and your families because He is the GREATEST PHYSICIAN.
