The Corona virus SARS-CoV-2 spreads further. So far she speaks World Health Organization (WHO) not from one pandemicbut from an “epidemic in individual countries”. Nevertheless, you can think about how to prepare for a possible pandemic. The things that can be done and considered in advance make sense even if there is no coronavirus pandemic.
Protection against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and the ones it triggers is particularly important Lung disease Covid-19, The harder it is for the virus to spread, the slower it progresses. At the same time, these measures also protect you against the flu (influenza), which relieves the health system.
Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2: interrupt the chain of infection
It is particularly important that everyone helps to interrupt the chain of infection. The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is – just like the related SARS – passed on by droplet and smear infection. The virus increases in the throat and is released again by sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose. In this way, the corona virus also reaches surfaces where it can get on the hands and further on mucous membranes by smear infection. More about the symptoms and the incubation period of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Individuals can do this to protect themselves against the coronavirus (and flu)
- Keep a distance from the sick (one to two meters)
- Wash hands carefully and frequently (at least 20 seconds with soap and up to the wrist)
- Avoid shaking hands and hugs (you can replace them with the “Ebola handshake”, a kind of elbow strike)
- Avoid touching your face if possible
- Do not touch your mouth, eyes or nose with your fingers
- Do not sneeze and cough in your hand, but in a handkerchief or elbow
- Dispose of used tissues quickly
- Develop protective habits: press the elevator button with your ankles, open the door handle with your elbow, etc.
- Avoid busy places and events (set priorities)
- Respiratory masks, on the other hand, do not protect against infection with the corona virus, they primarily serve as external protection
