SERAMBINEWS.COM, BANDA ACEH – After a person has close contact with a person who has been confirmed positive for COVID-19, it is advisable to take some of these actions immediately.
This is important as an effort to minimize transmission to the person concerned and to keep other people around him from being infected.
For those of you who are proven to be in close contact, according to the procedure, there are several actions that must be taken.
The first action is not to panic, then self-isolate, and continue to apply a healthy lifestyle while monitoring the symptoms that appear.
Dr. Caesar Givani, CEO of Ceklab.id explained that when someone is in close contact with a person who is confirmed positive for Covid-19, the first thing to do is monitor symptoms, especially in the early days (up to 1 week) after close contact.
Symptoms to watch for are cough, fever, diarrhea, and loss of smell.
“Then make sure to keep your distance, including with the closest people such as family and try to have a spare bedroom ready to use at home that can be used for self-isolation,” he explained as reported by the kontan.co.id page, Thursday (19/8).
Meanwhile, while monitoring symptoms, Caesar advised, it is better to order quality sleep at least 7 hours a day, eat fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals.
Do not forget, consume high-protein foods such as meat and eggs.
Caesar emphasized that even though you are isolated at home, try to meet your family as little as possible.
