Some degree of fear and stress may be necessary to keep us prepared.
Sometimes constant planning for the worst can impair us in our daily life.
We need to control, educate, update, train and program our minds; so that we can react appropriately in case of an emergency situation.
‘Things will get worse before they get better’ says National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci is interviewed on “This Week.”
On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency.
On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, its first such designation since declaring H1N1 influenza a pandemic in 2009.
As per CDC “the virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
-Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
-Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.”
To Summarize,
Wash your hands, wash your hands….
Use recommended sanitizer often appropriately.
Do not touch anything you do not need to.
Avoid sitting on public seats.
Avoid handshakes.
Avoid using public pens,computers,computer mouses, door knobs, phones, library books, etc.
Wash your hands right away after using any publicly shared item.
Change and wash your clothes after a visit outside as clothes may serve as fomites/carriers of the germs.
Keep yourself updated on the recent updates on appropriate national websites for further health information.
Hopefully we all can help each other stay safe and healthy.
