Top 5 Things to Do During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the way people run their daily lives has changed a lot. The pandemic has caused thousands of people to “panic-buy” food from supermarkets and other goods needed to survive this global health crisis. People line up in front of pharmacies selling disinfectants and flu masks, causing this preventive equipment to be sold out quickly first thing in the morning.

This is even more apparent in countries that have initiated city lock-downs and travel restrictions such as the United States, Italy, and other affected nations.

As cases and casualties are slowly increasing, this season will be one of the most challenging times for all of us. How can you protect yourself and your family from this corona-virus? Here are 5 things to do during the COVID-19 Outbreak?

 • Wash your hands frequently and catch sneezes or coughs in a tissue

Even just a single droplet from a sneeze or cough is enough to transmit the virus. For example, if a person coughs into their hands and touches a door handle, it’s most likely that anyone who opens that door can catch the virus.

One of the simplest and effective ways to protect yourself is washing your hands thoroughly and frequently. If you’re one of those daily commuters, it’s definitely a must for you to wash your hands with soap and water once you get home or before you prepare your dinner.

 • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth

The face is one of the most vulnerable pathways for a virus to enter the lungs and because of the numerous mucous membranes found there. A study in the American Journal of Infection Control shows that people touch their faces more than 20 times an hour on average and about 40% involves contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

You may inhale droplets from coughs or sneezes, but these droplets can also touch surfaces and last about nine days if not disinfected according to Jennifer Hanrahan, chief of the division of infectious diseases at the University of Toledo Medical Center. As much as possible, avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.

 • Avoid crowded places

Staying in places with lots of people poses a higher risk of virus transmissions, especially in poorly ventilated ones. With little air circulation and a closed-in setting, those who are sick in the crowd can pass the infection easier especially to those with underlying health conditions. It is still strongly suggested that you spend most of your time at home than outdoors for your safety and prevention.

 • Clean and disinfect your home

To remove germs, you need to disinfect your home by spending more time wiping off frequently touched surfaces with disinfectants. The most common touched surfaces are tables, doorknobs, light switches, door handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks, and especially cellphones.
