COVID-19, a threatening word which has changed the lives of the people in 2020. Unable to envisage its prediction of getting it nullified in the upcoming years, the best-done action is to shield ourselves in the most protected possible manner.
To achieve this, the first thing one should acknowledge is knowing how it spreads. The contagious disease gets transferred to other person
- by coming in close contact, or say within a distance of six feet with the affected person.
- When the respiratory droplets of the person who sneezes, coughs or talks passes on to the other person by the process of inhalation into the lungs.
- By touching a surface or object that has previously touched by an infected person.
Moreover, due to absence of symptoms in some patients, it has become harder nowadays to access the symptoms in individuals.
With the exponential growth of COVID, it has become mandatory for an individual to be mindful of the following precautions:
In combination with the precautions, also ensure keeping a regular check on your health. Monitor your temperature from time to time, and if any of the following symptoms prevail, do not hesitate to visit a doctor.
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Fever or chills
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Sore throat
- Headache
- Muscle or body aches
- New loss of taste or smell
- Diarrhea
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
As the airborne disease is now asymptomatic, the stated symptoms may or may not prevail. But in case you feel trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, inability to wake or stay awake or bluish lips or face, seek emergency medical attention.
