Corona Virus or COVID 19, which is known to emerge from Wuhan, a city of 11 million people in China’s Hubei province has now spread to almost all the countries in the world. Be it America, Italy, Europe, or UAE, none of the leading nations of the world could safeguard themselves from this life-shattering epidemic. Even in India, the number of COVID 19 positive cases is increasing rapidly every day. To stop the transmission of the virus, the government has put the whole country in complete lockdown. Scientists, scholars, and researchers are all on a mission to discover an appropriate antibody medicine or vaccination against COVID 19 virus. But while we are waiting for vaccinations, there are some necessary measures that every individual should keep in mind to protect themselves and their closed ones from this disease. Public health measures are everyday preventive actions that include:
Maintain Social Distancing
Always use masks
Always maintain hygiene around you and practice respiratory hygiene
Stay away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing
Avoid theatres, malls, markets and other crowded areas for the next six months
Avoid making unnecessary trips
Avoid making abroad trips for next year
Avoid gatherings like marriage ceremony, parties, etc
Adopt vegetarian diets
Avoid eating outdoor food
Consume proper diets to increase your immunity
Avoid unnecessary meetings and conferences
According to Mr. AtulMalikram, “At present, the COVID 19 virus is spreading rapidly in the nation. With the increase in the number of affected persons and deaths, it necessary that people strictly follow the guidelines given by the government. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus. It is better to be safe than to be sorry.”
As a responsible individual of the society, every person must maintain and take all the preventive measures to reduce the transmission of the Corona Virus in the community. Instead of facing each other on big or small issues, why not face this challenge together as a whole unit? Like a candle that can light a whole room, similarly why don’t we come forward and remove this darkness of disease to emerge as a peaceful and sustainable society.
