here we are talking about the awareness related to the corona spread be safe to be kind be responsible this is the slogan today. How does coronavirus spread? coronavirus spreads mainly through the droplets that are a respiratory secretion like when somebody couch somebody sneezes these droplets can contaminate the other person's respiratory system. when they breathe that the one route the other route which we are now commonly coming across through the fomites. what is that is when somebody sneezes these droplets drop on the animated sub innovate objects and from there through the contact these things again go to your nose when you touch your hand with nose mouth or eyes and this can also transmit through contact. so there are two routes one is through the droplets when you sneeze cough the other one is through the contact of your hand to the nose and mouth.
Our masks are effective? How to use them?
masks are not generally required for a normal layman at common places or the public places marks may be useful in healthcare settings when a healthcare worker like a nurse or a doctor carrying this kind of patients or their patients with respiratory symptoms must be helpful when a patient has symptoms like cough and breathlessness with a high-grade fever they may use the mask to protect the other members to not get infected ora family member when they are caring a patient with known covid or any respiratory symptoms. but it should not be used for the common public whereas we have seen that the common surgical or medical mask can sometimes be harmful and infecting more if you don't know how to use it so we ask to refrain from using masks in a normal common public.
What are the alternatives for masks?
first of all the common population or public should not be chasing for the masks they should be using whenever they sneezing coughing or whenever there is a respiratory decay they tried to use the elbow as protection and they can use tissues where if whenever somebody coughs and that tissues can be actually disposed into a closed bin.
Handwashing vs hand sanitizing what is better?
I think hand-washing will be the ideal choice if it is available and with the soap, water is as effective as hand sanitizer so there is no need to panic and roam around for hand sanitizer in the market where we are seeing a shortfall of it but in the same time if you have is hand sanitizer with you and there is no hand wash facility you can still use a hand sanitizer in those situations.
Why wash hands frequently?
as I had already explained to you the transmission just not happens with only droplets when somebody coughs or sneezes but also happens when these droplets fall on the table or surrounding areas like the common areas like bathroom handles tables common public places rails or any handles and all and when you touch them and then again the hand goes to your nose and mouth probably unknowingly too many of the times so those these droplets infect you so you need to have a frequent hand wash whenever you come in contact with any common public places.
How to ensure if the workplace is ready for corona?
I think we all now started preparing ourselves to face any kind of this epidemic outbreak how I actually as a common man know that this hospital is geared up to see every hospital has now been or every corporate or a bigger Medical Colleges has now been geared with an isolation ward along with isolation rooms and also the personal protective equipment which is geared up and they have actually information pamphlets or information live links given to you at the entry of the gate key whenever you get across come across with the fever cough and breathlessness what are the precautions you need to take and do so all the corporates or bigger corporates and medical colleges in the state of both on the Andra Pradesh Telangana has been selected for this.
What are the tips for health workers?
health workers should also follow the same standard respiratory etiquette like whenever they are in health care working atmospheres they should be using a regular surgical or medical mask and then hand wash hand hygiene has to be on the priority and they should be using a frequent hand washing technique hand hygiene technique this would not be touching the face nose whenever they are actually coming across with this healthcare system and when they are actually coming across with somebody invasively doing procedures like bronchoscopy or intubation coming with aerosolized procedures they should be using an n95 mask the rest of the situation the surgical or medical mask will be enough and respiratory etiquette whenever they sneeze cough they make sure that they cover with some elbow and they don't touch the hands in that situation.
What is social distancing, why is it important?
right now we are actually skipping from stage one that is any of our person who's traveled abroad and coming with from the countries which actually I have a high prevalence of covid - 19viral infection and they detected to have this virus in our country is in stage one when these patients or these persons infect the next contact person nearby when they come across we come across a stage called stage two from this stage to where this contact has got this virus if the spreads into the community we come across a stage three stop the spread in stage three we have to stop this gatherings mass gathering malls movie theaters or schools to stop the spread from one person to the other so at this point of time we are in High Point where we have to stop these social gatherings or mass gatherings to avoid this transmission in the community.
What is self-isolation?
suppose any person who came in contact with any of the novel-covid 19 case which is diagnosed or a suspected case these people are these persons were asked to self isolate at home where this person will be observed for 14 days at home where this person will not probably allow to go out of the home and keep themselves inside a home with their own so that after the 14 days if the patient or this person doesn't get any symptoms or signs they will be free so this is called self-isolation to not transmit this infection to the others.
If you are 60+ or with conditions such as respiratory disease or diabetes, what can you do?
predominant deaths or a fatality happened in the east group above 60 or those who have comorbid conditions like diabetes hypertension or some respiratory diseases so you see this strong correlation between the Age and this comorbidity so we strongly recommend the elderly is group population and those who have comorbidities to stay home isolate themselves from social gatherings or mass gatherings.
What should you do if you are in or traveled in corona-affected places?
at this point of time all than one urgent travel to the corona affected places or countries is already been sealed so if you have already traveled to a corona affected place so you came back from that area so the first point is you will be screened in the airport authority for your temperature or any symptoms if you have symptoms they will scream otherwise you will be asked to self isolate for 14 days what you are supposed to do in this 14 days during this period if you develop any symptoms related to the high-grade fever dry cough or breathlessness you should be reporting back to the nodal center where you will be tested for covid 19and if you come positive you will be isolated till you recover and the treatment and other supportive care will be taken care.
