Current Prevention Measures for Covid-19
Proper Use of Face Masks
One of the most common ways of transmitting Covid-19 is through the water drops that we expel when speaking, coughing or sneezing. Therefore, to prevent spreading Covid-19, you should cover your nose and mouth at all times with a face cover.
Hand Washing
Wash your hands properly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. You can also use 70% alcohol hand sanitizers. These two habits help eliminate viruses that may be present in your hands.
Keep Your Distance
Avoid contact with people with symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. Keep a distance of at least a meter and a half from other people. Don’t greet by kissing, hugging, or hand-shaking. Also, avoid gatherings of more than 3 people.
Proper Ventilation
Adequate ventilation of all spaces, mainly enclosed ones.
Attention to Priority Groups
People at high risk of getting severe Covid-19 are those over the age of 60, pregnant women, people with artery hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and those with a disease that conditions immunosuppression.
