“Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise, walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog .”
No matter who you are or what you do, right now you should be focused on your health - and not about whether you will lose your job or run out of money for things like groceries or medicine.
The spread of COVID-19 is forcing all of us to change our ways, and we know it’s a big adjustment. But we will fight, and together we will get through this by taking precautions.
It is practically impossible to completely prevent the spread but you can take certain measures to reduce the chances of getting it.
Wash your hands often – It is probably the best measure to prevent the transfer of cold or any kind of infection. Use sanitizer while being in any public places and also make it a point to wash hands before eating. Teach the importance of hand-wash to kids also.
Avoid touching your face – Try not to touch face, mouth, nose & eye areas, when you are near to a person infected with cold.
Control stress – People facing emotional stress regularly have a weaker immune system, which implies that they could catch a cold easily. So, reduce stress and live a healthy life.
Cleanliness – Keep household surfaces like doorknobs, drawer pulls, keyboards, light switches, telephones, remote controls, countertops, and sinks clean. These are the places where viruses lie for hours after they are used by an infected person.
Avoid Smoking – Cigarette smoke could raise the chances of susceptibility to colds and other infections. Avoid passive smoking as well.
Drink sufficient amount of water – Drink water, juice, warm lemon water and other warm fluids. These will help you to stay away from it.
