10 ways that you attract coronavirus without realizing
You think you're following all the rules, but did you forget these?
With the rapidly growing coronavirus epidemic around the world, one thing doctors like me surely know that Covid-19 is very good for infecting people. We already know that some people are much more likely to infection and can put healthy individuals in critical condition, when others do not have any symptoms, but they are still able to infect a large number of people.
Asymptomatic individuals - meaning, those who are infected, but do not show symptoms - contribute the greatest to the propagation of the virus and constitute the source of subsequent infections due to a more of them and the higher probability than 'They went out. Therefore, the only safe place for you is your home. As soon as you leave it, you are exposed to an infection. In addition, if you leave someone in you endanger you. Here are 10 ways that you catch the virus without realizing it.
You went shopping and mixed with other people
COVID-19 propagates when an infected person coughs or sneezes small droplets with the virus in the air. If you breathe them in or touch the surface, you can develop an infection. This is why social distancing is very important and many stores apply. Please do everything you can to have your food delivered - and if you go shopping, keep at least six feet from others, including when you wait online and follow my advice in the next slide.
You touch objects without protection
Supermarkets and gas stations are an ideal setting for viruses spread as many people affect and replace items, SWIPE credit cards, press parking ticketing buttons, ATM machines and paper recipes. It is very important to wash your hands with soap and water or with a hand-based alcohol disinfectant after going. Also treat all surfaces as contaminated and avoid touching your face after touching something especially baskets or carts.Wear disposable gloves if you can every time you go shopping and arrange them directly after. Try to use the contactless payment method if you can. And always wear a face mask.
You buy fresh fruits and vegetables in stores
Fresh grocery stores could have been treated by anyone so that it is important that non-packaged fresh foods are washed carefully under running water (without soap!) And left to dryness.
You get deliveries at home
Home deliveries are less risky than a purchasing supermarket, but there is still a risk of possible contamination of the surface of any food or packaging or from the delivery driver. The best practice is to wipe on surfaces with a simple diluted javelle water that will inactivate the virus in seconds.
You order to take away
Many good restaurants offer free dishes and they have implemented the best practice for the preparation of hygienic foods to minimize risks. In the current circumstances, it is better to order hot meals, freshly prepared rather than cold or raw dishes. The biggest risk comes from the packaging. It can be minimized by eliminating the container's food in a refusal bag and washing hands before eating. You can also microwave your food for a few minutes.
You take public transport
The use of public transport provides one of the biggest risks of getting COVID-19. In addition to the possibility of breathing in the droplets of the air virus, there is a risk of being infected with touching surfaces. COVID-19 can survive on surfaces up to 5 days. Handles, seats, ticket machines are affected by thousands of people every day and can contribute to a massive spread of the virus.
You sell and buy items used online
There are always open sites where people can exchange used, new or unwanted objects. The buyer or the seller can be infected and disseminate this infection when collecting items or deposit. The virus can stay on the surface of the article and when you touch it, you can be infected.
You share your computer at work
If you can not work at home or if you are a "essential" worker using a computer or shared equipment, be sure to wipe him with a disinfectant cleaning before using it. Wipe it forward and after use to prepare it for the next person.
Your mobile phone can be a good source of infection
Even if you wear gloves during shopping or public transportation or work, when you touch your phone, you can transfer glove viruses to the surface of your phone. This is good practice for not using your phone as much, but if you need it, be sure to wipe it with a disinfectant cleaning as often as possible. The virus can stay on your phone, then it can be transferred to your hands. You can catch an infection without realizing yourself as soon as you touch your face or mouth with infected hands.
