COVID-19 or not, humans have always championed the cause of self-preservation and perseverance. If dinosaurs had our adaptability, they could have survived extinction 2000 years ago. Yet our nonchalant attitude towards a life-threatening disease is absurd. Yes, it is easily transmittable, and yes, the spread can be controlled if we take precautions and stay safe. Educate that neighbour who thinks you are being too cautious.
All these admonitions would be worthless without suggesting ways to prevent covid-19.
CMWDCSI – looks gibberish right?
Lets take it one after the other:
C
Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
M
Maintain a safe distance whenever you go out.
W
Wear a mask every time you go out.
D
Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
C
Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
S
Self-isolate if you feel unwell and ensure you get tested if you show symptoms.
I
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.
Stay Stafe and Stay Healthy.
