WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A POSSIBLE OR CONFIRMED CASE OF COVID 19

By Petros Piki CA(Z), MSc, RPA

It is estimated that almost a third of the world population is under lock down presently as Governments across the globe battle to contain the contagious coronavirus. Not everybody who gets infected gets hospitalised. How then do you take care of yourself should you suspect you are infected by coronavirus? We look at recommendations of experts and the World Health Organisation. The following is recommended:

1.    Stay home from work, school, and away from other public places. If you must go out, avoid using any kind of public transportation, ridesharing, or taxis. If you are in a country that has affected by lockdown follow the guidelines of your jurisdiction. Avoid confrontation with law enforcement agents you may end up with unplanned inconveniences and injuries.

2.    Monitor your symptoms carefully. If your symptoms get worse, call your healthcare provider immediately.

3.    Get rest and stay hydrated.

4.    If you have a medical appointment, call the healthcare provider ahead of time and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19.

5.    For medical emergencies, call hotline numbers and notify the dispatch personnel that you have or may have COVID-19. Always have important emergency numbers close in case of emergency.

6.    Cover your cough and sneezes. Coronavirus is easily spread on sneezes, be kind and protect others.

7.    Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

8.    As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home. Also, you should use a separate bathroom, if available. If you need to be around other people in or outside of the home, wear a facemask.

9.    Avoid sharing personal items with other people in your household, like dishes, towels, and bedding

10.                    Clean all surfaces that are touched often, like counters, tabletops, and doorknobs. Use household cleaning sprays or wipes according to the label instructions.
