We go through one of the most difficult times in recent history. Coronavirus outbreaks from Wuhan, China, have already spread across the globe and have had a major impact on our daily lives.
Many of us are trapped in homes, plagued by feelings of helplessness and fear of not knowing how this health crisis will end and already taking thousands of lives.
We welcome the work of those in the front row, but not all of us can investigate the solution and inject or treat patients who are ill. Now what can we do to combat COVID-19?
1. Stay at home
It makes sense. They asked us to stay home and we must do that. Reducing the number of people we interact with is one of the most effective ways to reduce the infection.
The expert Hugh Montgomery recently explained that an infected person transmits the infection, on average, to three other people. These three spread to three others and, if this happens up to ten times, the number of infected increases to 59,000.
When the state of the alarm was announced in Spain, laws were enacted to prevent it. Among these, it is forbidden to leave the house without buying basic necessities, going to work, going to the doctor or because of force.
You can view the values in WRITE DOWN who is in a health crisis. If you do not comply with them, you run the risk of being fined up to € 100 or even three months in jail for disobedience and 4 years of assault on authority.
2. Make video calls
No matter the duration of confinement, we should be accustomed to making video calls for friends or family visits. There are applications that will make it very easy for us like WhatsApp or other funnier like Houseparty.
And the important role these apps play in helping us look at our loved ones is. In such a complex situation, we must ensure that we are compatible with, or at least with, those who live alone.
Video calls will also allow us to hold business meetings. Many video conferencing resources They offer corporate discounts and as a result contribute to this health crisis that has had very little impact on the potential economy.
3. Take safety precautions
As we mentioned, one of the best ways to fight the coronavirus is to reduce its spread. In addition to staying at home, it is important that we take steps to prevent the spread and avoid infecting others.
The Department of Health Spanish recommends washing your hands with soap and water often, when you return home or after being in the top contact area. In this sense, you should also avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose and mouth.
In the event of a cough or sneezing, we should cover the inside arm, never with our hands. We can also use a lost handkerchief that we will dispose of after one use. Obviously, interpersonal communication should be avoided.
When we go out, we have to respect the safe distance of 1.5 meters. We can protect ourselves with gloves and masks, but it's important that we know how to use them or they can cause a fire.
4. Always clean
Although avoiding unwashed hands on your face is an effective method, it is equally important to clean and disinfect the home and items we use frequently to reduce the risk of infection.
At PCWorld.es, we have some interesting topics:
5. Use online shopping wisely
Supermarkets in Spain often offer a shopping service online. It is a method that many use to avoid getting out of the house and to make sure they have the products they need and that are very difficult to find in stores.
Obviously, this is a great way to reduce the number of times we go out. However, this service is falling, as it has more demand than usual and this results in a queue or delay in orders.
Our recommendation is not to try to take advantage of this service and to pass it on to people who are at very high risk of going to extremes. The chains are like him Carrefour already cater to the interests of people over the age of 65.
6. Support small businesses
One of the groups most affected by the situation is small businesses. The best time to offer them our support is by making weekly purchases there or making orders to companies for non-essential products.
Restaurants also directly address the consequences of this problem. They are forced to close and it is not entirely clear when they will reopen. No matter what they do, they will have to wait for people to feel comfortable eating out.
That is why it is a good idea to support these businesses by ordering food at home, at least while you can. There are many options we have, such as Just eat either Glovo. Of course, always maintain a safety margin.
7. Offer donations
If you want to contribute to a cause beyond prevention, there are several fundraising campaigns you can partner with. Many celebrities and companies are already making their contributions public and you can do the same.
These are just a few:
There are also other types of corporate strategies such as helping the most vulnerable neighbors (always respecting distances) or making a cotton cloth mask at home for health workers (information on a sewing machine is required).
8. Do not decrease the number of emergencies
We should minimize emergency calls as much as possible and use these phone lines only when absolutely necessary. The number of calls has increased especially these days and should avoid system collapse.
112 or 061 are usually emergency medical assistance numbers. To avoid overcrowding, many independent communities have developed specific numbers for coronavirus coverage.
You can check your CCAA phone number on the website of Department of Health.
9. Do not share false information
As always, in every true story comes ten false stories. To combat this epidemic, it is also important to use and share only information from respected scientific and scientifically supported sources.
In this sense, we have to ignore the false advice and cunning tricks you have seen that are actually circulating the Internet. Celebrities fake news it can be very dangerous and lead to it deception and scams online.
These myths stem from the fact that excessive temperatures (hot or cold) can kill the virus in those that separate the potential offspring from the virus, and are accompanied by false herbs such as garlic or soluble silver.
10. Take care of your (and others') mental health
Stopping the distribution of ambiguities can also have a positive impact on our mental health. While this is the key to helping fight COVID-19, it is important to keep in mind its long-term effects.
Imprisonment can have an obvious effect on our emotions and those of the people around us. It is therefore recommended to try to disconnect from issues, either through netflix movie or in conversation with your partner.
Oh, and don't forget to applaud everyone who experiences low quality services daily at 8 pm. It’s also a great way to feel supported and part of the community. We are in this together, and we will come forward.
