Coronavirus Tips: Don’t Go Out Or Be Alert

Coronavirus and its disease COVID-19 are seriously hampering people’s daily lives, the country’s economy, etc. People are so disturbed and depressed that they want to go outside, maybe for work or just for the sake of refreshment from long-term quarantine boredom.

Stop. If you too feel the same, read the article first. Here, I have mentioned some Coronavirus tips you may like to follow, especially if you want to be safe.

First, let’s see the current COVID-19 figures

Country	Total Case	Active Case	Death	Recovered
USA	1,725,275	1,144,734	100,572	479,969
Brazil	394,507	211,321	24,593	158,593
Italy	230,555	52,942	32,955	144,658
India	151,876	83,104	4,346	64,426

While the recovery rate across the world is approximately 42%, we cannot say the dangerousness of the coronavirus variant is fading away. Rather, due to its constant mutation, it is changing drastically; in a few regions, the effectiveness became low, somewhere it became higher.

The only workaround we have as of now is social distancing, and obviously, in public roads and malls, we will not have that. Hence, if you are really feeling bored, my first advice would be to sit tight for a couple of more days. 

In case you have determined that you will go out for whatever reason, maybe for work or just a stroll, follow the coronavirus tips below.

Social Distancing is the key

If there is a way to avoid going out during rush hours, do that. Maybe in the early morning, noon, or afternoon, roads will be less crowded and then you will be less prone to getting the infection. 

• In case you are traveling through public transport, maintain at least a 1-meter gap.
• Always wear a mask while outside, and if possible, use surgical gloves.
• Don’t consume unhygienic foods or drinks.
• You should not handshake or hug someone; instead, you may wave.
• Try to avoid public toilets as much as possible.
• Avoid common touchpoints like handles, grab rails, or anything publicly exposed.
• Lastly, never spit in public places.

Mask, Hand Sanitizer, and Gloves are your current armor

Wearing a mask and gloves might keep you safe, but washing, sanitizing, or changing them at times is important too. I would always recommend using a single-use mask and gloves, so that you can dispose in the bin at the end.

• Don’t throw used masks and gloves in open trash bins or public places.
• Every time you wear a mask or remove it, sanitize your hands, especially palms and fingers, properly.

Take care of yourself and others

Should you feel a cough, fever, or breathing problem, call 1075, the helpline number, immediately. For other health issues, don’t ignore; call your doctor at the earliest.

A few more general coronavirus tips to follow, like

• Always cover your nose and mouth while coughing or sneezing.
• Never participate in any kind of mass gatherings like protests, religious events, etc.
• Wash your hands as frequently as possible, especially before touching your nose, mouth, or eyes.
• If you ever feel suspicious but there are no symptoms, self-quarantine yourself.
• Keep yourself updated through the Aarogya Setu app and news.
• Always follow the guidelines prescribed by local authorities.

Finally, I would again request you not to go outside until you have no choice.
