Prevention

Covid-19

You can reduce your chances of being infected by the coronavirus and reduce transmitting the virus in a number of ways. The most important prevention method is self-isolating, which means staying at home and only leaving the house if it is absolutely essential.

It is also important to maintain a clean environment; it has been confirmed that viruses can be easily killed with proper disinfectants. Although it has not been confirmed if these disinfectants work to kill the coronavirus, cleaners can play an important role in limiting the spread by killing microorganisms.

Wearing face masks is also a prevention method that can be explored. Medical masks are essential to healthcare workers, however they do work if an individual was to wear them by preventing the transfer of droplets that carry the coronavirus. If an individual is wearing a non medical mask, it is important to ensure that your hands are clean and that you are not consistently touching your face, otherwise it may not be effective and the virus could spread.

The most important prevention methods to consider are:

Proper Hygiene

Social Distancing
