Prevention against COVID-19
This virus has traumatic effects worldwide, and this has led to catastrophic changes and loss of income. Countless people have lost their lives, and countries are seeing the verge of recession, but we have overcome this pandemic with global support and humanitarian attitude.

1. Vaccination
Vaccination is the crucial need of the hour; the governments are trying to vaccinate as many as possible because this will reduce the chances of virus spread and prepare your body and immune system for any foreign particle invasion.
The government has provided two vaccine doses, so you must ensure that you get your family vaccinated and put them through a quarantine period after the vaccination of around two days.
2. Mask
Vaccine prepares your immune system to fight against the virus, but this does not mean that you are allowed to move freely without precautions. Masks are the most helpful way to prevent the spread of various sorts of this disease, so it is best that you must continue wearing a mask in public or crowded places.

- N95 masks
These masks have a filter at the edge along with the easy placing of the show. These are the ones that can be reused, and they are worn at the corporate places where you mostly visit. They come in handy for around 5-6 uses.
There are also third types of masks known as cloth masks but they aren’t completely safe for the users to move out in crowds or public places.
3. Social distancing
Social distancing is not just a pandemic activity, but we should practise it more frequently. It avoids the spread of any other form of the virus. So when you are in a public place or a queue, make sure that the spacing between two people should be around 6 feet.
4. Don’t let your guard down.
If conditions are improving and many people infected are falling, you should not let your guard down because we need to remember that it started with a single person. So you must make sure to keep your surroundings clean and avoid touching public places like an escalator on the metro station and taxis.
5. Wash Hands / sanitize
Hands are the carrier of all sorts of viruses and bacteria in your body, so you must make sure that you should keep your hands clean. So you must always wash your hands when you come home from somewhere and also you must sanitize your laptop, computer and mobile phone before giving it to your kid.
6. Cover coughs and sneezes
Though most people cover their sneezes or coughs, some people avoid such points, so one must make sure that they protect their nose when they sneeze as it releases the infected bacteria in the surrounding region.
When a person sneezes, he can spread infected bacteria in the range up to 3 metres radius.
7. Disinfectant and cleaning
Around twice a week, have a complete cleaning session of your house with a sanitizing machine at the entry. So you must clean your home with disinfectants as they will erase traces of any form of dirt or infection.
So cleaning is not just an emergency activity, but it has to be taught in your routine.
8. Health log and regular checks
Many people think that they look fine then have no form of health issues, but this isn’t true; sometimes, a simple cough may be a sign of tuberculosis, and some irregular breathing may signify lung infection.
So make sure to have your body checked and keep a log of all the same.
