COVID-19 Dos and Don'ts: Tips and Prevention
What you should Do for COVID-19
Stay home
Once you contract COVID-19, you should stay home and avoid getting in contact with anyone.
Drink soup
Drinking soup is a good idea because it helps nourish the body. It is also easy to make and easy to digest.
Monitor your symptoms
Monitor your symptoms carefully to see if you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19.
You should immediately contact your doctor if the symptoms worsen.
Sleep well
Make sure you get enough sleep when you are sick in order to rest and reduce the symptoms of COVID-19.
Take vitamins and supplements
Taking vitamins and supplements helps strengthen the immune system.
Stay hydrated
Drink at least 64 to 70 ounces of water every day. Staying hydrated can reduce the symptoms of the virus and replace the electrolytes lost through fever-induced sweating.
What you should Avoid for COVID-19
Avoid stress
Stress can suppress immune system activity, and this can put you at a higher risk of being infected with the virus.
Don’t take antibiotics
COVID-19 is a disease caused by a virus, not a bacterium. People shouldn’t take antibiotics because they do not work against viruses, they only fight bacteria.
COVID-19 Prevention
Avoid crowds
Avoid being in gatherings or among crowd. People can spread COVID-19 even when they don’t show signs of being sick or infected with the virus.
Avoid shaking hands
Avoid shacking hands with people.
The coronavirus virus is easily transmitted by touch. Thus, shaking hands can put you at a higher risk of getting infected with the virus.
Avoid touching your face
People often touch their faces subconsciously. Touching your face frequently can put you at a higher risk of contracting the virus because the germs on your hands can easily spread to your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Exercise regularly
Regular exercise boosts your immune system and provides immunity against diseases and viruses.
Practice social distancing
When someone coughs sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain the virus in the air.
To avoid spreading the virus, people should maintain social distancing, also called “physical distancing."
According to the WHO, this means keeping a safe space of at least 1 meter (about 3 feet) between yourself and other people.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that people keep a distance of 6 feet or more (1.5 to 2 meters) to prevent the spread of the virus.
Wash your hands
Disinfect your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water for 20 seconds to get rid of germs.
Wear a mask
Wearing a mask prevents COVID-19 transmission and reduces the probability of infection.
This is because the mask stops the virus droplets from spreading through the air if a person coughs or sneezes.
