Ever since the outbreak of the coronavirus, health experts across the globe have advised us to abide by the COVID-19 protocols in order to safeguard ourselves and those around us. However, along with members of different political parties, citizens have also been found flouting the rules when it comes to the pandemic.
This has led to a spike in coronavirus cases and a further deterioration of our healthcare system which is currently grappling with the second wave. So let us try and look back at some of the basic COVID-19 protocols we can follow as citizens to make the situation in our country better at the moment.
- Wear a mask – We have been asked time and again to cover our faces with a proper face mask. Wear your mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. Moreover, ensure that the mask fits against the sides of your face, slipping the loops over your ears or tying the strings behind your head. If you have to continually adjust your mask, it does not fit properly, and you might need to find a different mask type or brand.
- Stay six feet away from other people - If possible, at all times maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other members while travelling to places.
- Wash your hands often – Wash your hands before you touch your face and sanitize frequently. Avoid contact with the face otherwise.
- Monitor your health daily – Check for the COVID-19 symptoms. Talk to your doctor and ask him if you need to be hospitalized. For precautionary measures, keep an oximeter at home.
