There is so much scare and panic around because of coronavirus that is increasingly affecting people. Let’s remain calm. Practice some safety measures and you would be preventing the virus from affecting you.
- Stay hydrated
- Build your immune system. Eat well, increase your fruit consumption.
- Wash your hand frequently with soap and water, if not available use an alcohol-based sanitizer to sanitize your hands.
- Disinfect surfaces at workplaces, house e.t.c
- Bath regularly and wash your clothes
- Cover your mouth with your elbow when coughing, or cover with a tissue paper and properly dispose of after use.
- Maintain social distance, avoid crowded places and avoid handshakes and hugs this period.
- Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine not yet approved for the treatment of CoronaVirus. Hours after we got this information about chloroquine used in covid19 treatment, now every Nigerian wants to start taking chloroquine as what, prevention I guess? Everybody is stopping at the pharmacy to see if they can purchase chloroquine. The side effects of chloroquine are adverse. Do not self medicate. Chloroquine would be used only when the patient has been confirmed to be positive. Please let us not create more problems for ourselves.
