*Instrs for Protection Against Corona Virus*

1. Avoid public spots and crowded places esp during rush hours.
2. Keep your throat wet using warm water after every hour or with regular intervals. Keep drinking min half glass of warm water every hour or two.
3. When moving out, use face mask to protect mouth and nose inhale.
4. Keep washing your hands whenever exposed or touched by something from outside.
5. Frequent use of sanitizers. Keep sufficient in the house at the entrance, and inside the lounge and bedroom.
6. Don’t touch your hands to your mouth or nose unless properly washed.
7. Avoid persons who either have a cough or are sneezing. They are dangerous; sorry, their wet particles are dangerous. AVOID their wet particles coming out of nose or mouth at all costs.
8. Don’t take kids to markets. Go to the market only when inevitable. Better stock grocery for month or so at home.
9. When you receive an item from outside, keep it at door side of the house, maintaining at least 2 meters distance for minimum 24 hours. The virus dies after 24 hours. It cannot fly or jump more than 1.5 meter.
10. Avoid weakness in the body so that immunity stays. Take enough food to keep body in strength. If feeling weakness or temp, take paracetamol etc to regain body str for good immunity.
11. Dry throat isn’t a symptom. It only facilitates Corona to attk. Its a soft target. Keeping it warm and wet denies this soft target.
12. Corona can effect only from mouth, nose and eyes or exposed injuries. Thats why we keep mouth covered when going out. Hands are washed regularly to keep them clean of Corona. The average human touches his face about 2000 times a day.
13. A person suspected of Corona infection needs to be isolated for min 15 days. That’s the probation time of Corona before it dies.
14. A person infected with Corona may not show symptoms, but he can infect others esp with relatively weaker immunity - the old people. (50 plus). That’s why it is better to avoid crowded places. And if inevitable, go alone, use mask, wash hands-on return and use sanitizer.
15. Symptoms of Corona infected could be cough, sneeze, temp and headache, etc.
16. Cook chicken, meat and poultry items like eggs. Excessive heat kills bacteria if any.
17. Don’t panic. The death rate of Corona infected is very low as compared to the flu etc. Nevertheless, care is imp as it is highly contagious. More importantly, Corona cannot survive hot weather. So the fight (God forbid) may last up to the onset of summers only, In the worst-case scenario.
18. Watch Matt Damon’s “Contagion”. It will give you a fair idea of how it spreads, and how to ensure safety. Watch till the end to see its origin. It’s a good case study.
19. Feel free to ask further questions.
20. Stay safe & Healthy. Thx
