It is so unfortunate that the situation brought about by this outbreak has affected so many people from different parts of the globe. Everything turned to a standstill because of this pandemic.
What is COVID-19, and why does it have such a huge impact globally?
- The usual symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. Some patients also experience nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, aches, and pains or diarrhea, while others who are infected with the virus do not show any symptoms. Of the people who contract COVID-19, a varying percentage becomes seriously ill and experiences shortness of breath. Older adults and those with underlying medical issues, such as diabetes, heart ailments, and high blood pressure, are more susceptible to developing severe illness.
What steps should I take if I experience symptoms of COVID-19?
- If you experience any of these symptoms, have yourself tested for possible risk of infection of COVID-19. It is best to call in advance so your health care provider will be able to direct you to the proper health facility to prevent the spread of the virus. Inform your healthcare provider of your recent travel or contacts.
What can I do to protect myself and avoid spreading the virus?
- COVID-19 can spread rapidly, so extra precautions must be taken. You can do simple things to avoid spreading or getting infected with COVID-19. Make it a habit to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to kill the virus that may be on your hands. You can also use alcohol or hand sanitizer if there is no way you can wash your hands. Avoid rubbing your eyes, nose, and mouth with unclean hands. Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of your tissue properly. Proper hygiene and cleanliness are sure ways to prevent the spread of the virus.
Staying at home is also advised to prevent further spread of the virus to possibly thousands of people because this virus is more contagious and more deadly than the common flu. During this time at home, you can focus on making your house a clean and safe place to stay in.
