The autumn begins, the weather is spoiled, and therefore more people will spend time in closed rooms. This means that the risk of infection with coronavirus will grow. Scientists around the world predict the second wave of illness in the fall, when we are usually experiencing seasonal influenza and colds (there is the same mechanism for transmitting a virus in a closed room). However, coronavirus is more dangerous to health than normal flu. So what do you need to know before starting the second wave?
- Follow the requirements of hygiene
Despite the fact that the doctrines of physicians that in the summer, the virus will completely retreat, because there are less viable in warm weather, they did not make it, in the summer of the infection, it was still less. People spent more time in air, and less in rooms, many ride on vacation. Now all return back, which means a more contact lifestyle, in particular in public transport, shops, public places. The first defense line is hygiene. Wash your hands even if in the summer slightly weakened your attention to this procedure.
- Social distancy is still relevant
So, in autumn it will also be needed. It is most likely that our country will no longer carry hard Lockdown, that is, access to public areas we will have. But this does not mean that now you need to go to a party or other mass events. Completely deny cultural life is also not worth it, but choose places that follow the requirements and adhere to the rules.
- Wear a mask
This is one of the most unpleasant measures to avoid the virus, but will have to suffer. Initially, the epidemic was different data on the effectiveness of masks, but now research converge on the fact that in a closed room, especially if there is a weak ventilation, the medical mask is a barrier between you and illness. Do not neglect this protection.
- Until you plan your life on "After Consignment"
Pandemic is a difficult period not only for physical health, but also for psychological. We all had other plans, but forced to give up them and stay at home. Unfortunately, to calm themselves to what about everything will also be ineffective. If this does not happen, you will be disappointed, and now it can lead to depression. Try to get used to this state of things. Now this is a new norm.
- Ill - stay home
A very simple rule is relevant and not in times of coronavirus, but now especially. Remember that you can become an infection source for others. Do not take risks without need. Whatever you expect you beyond home walls, it's worth knowing that all things can wait a few days. Everything except your health.
- Take into account the current circumstances in your planning
This applies to all aspects of life. Going on vacation abroad - Analyze what to do if the country will go to the "red" list, think of a refund mechanism and have a spare plan. Similarly, it is also necessary to approach more global life plans such as changing work or crossings. Planning has always been a virtue, but now, in the conditions of total uncertainty, its relevance has increased many times.
- Maintain reasonable stocks
This does not mean that half-apartments should be slaughtered with toilet paper or buckwheat, but now we all know that one of the signs of a pandemic is a sudden shortage of habitual things. Therefore, buy items of permanent use with some stock, in case if their supplies will be temporarily limited. First of all, it concerns medical drugs and products for children or domestic pets.
- Support Social Links
Sometimes it seems that we have already managed to live in a coronavirus, but psychologists say that humanity is experiencing unprecedented boom depression. Their reason is a permanent feeling of loneliness and limits in communication that stimulates a pandemic. Take care of your relatives, go to contact regularly, have a plan for communicating if the physical meeting will temporarily impossible. Remember that this is not only a simple politeness, but the issue of maintaining mental health on both sides. Who knows when we return to an unlimited life, it is best to make it to live here and now, in spite of which illnesses.
