There’s a widespread disease that has been impacting the city of Chicago and many other cities across America. It is called the coronavirus. It is a common virus that causes an infection in your nose, sinuses or upper throat. There are now 45,182 cases of this virus leading to 1,115 deaths. 28 other countries besides America have been affected by the virus. With so many people flipping out about it, what must we do to protect ourselves? Here are some common precautions you must take.
Wash your hands regularly or use hand sanitizer
Most people take this for granted, but it bears repeating whether you have the coronavirus or just a cold. You must wash your hands regularly or use hand sanitizer. You don’t want to infect anyone or run the risk of being infected by someone.
Stay away from people with the flu
If somebody you work or go to school with is showing signs of flu-like symptoms, be sure to stay away from them. Flu-like symptoms are some of signs of the coronavirus. Keeping your distance will help stave off any spreading of germs.
Try resisting touching your eyes, nose and mouth
We touch a lot of things in our home, workplace or at school. These things, more than likely, are contaminated. That’s why once you touch a desk, a computer keyboard, or any other surface, you must not touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Try to resist this urge in order to avoid transferring the virus to your face.
Clean frequently touched items
Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and disinfect your items. Keep your computer keyboard, shelves or any other items you usually use clean. By doing this, you will not only be keeping yourself safe from germs, but you will be lowering your risk of the coronavirus.
So those are just some of the things you must do to protect yourself and those you love from the coronavirus. For more tips on keeping yourself safe from this disease, check out the article, “6 Ways to Keep Yourself Safe from the Coronavirus” on www.healthiguide.com.
