CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS

With the spread of coronavirus, more and more people are beginning to worry about what it means in life. After all, entire cities are now being segregated. Travel restrictions have been imposed all around the world.

It is perfectly normal to be anxious about this health crisis. Here is how to deal with the anxiety and fear surrounding the coronavirus outbreak…

Don’t inflate the risk:

Our brains are used to taking something that is made to sound scary and unknown, and inflating the risk of it actually happening to us. It is a part of our brain’s intrinsic, built-in fight-or-flight response. Big and scary gets attention. Ordinary but also potentially bad for our well-being gets less attention. Don’t try to scare yourself with all the media and rumors spread around you. Focus on how to become healthy.

Take normal, healthy precautions:

Both the flu and coronaviruses are transmitted through daily contact, touching, coughing or sneezing. If you are ill, stay at home and don’t go to work or go out. If you are not sick, stay away from close contact with a person who is engaged in healthy habits when it come to cleaning.

• Wash hands thoroughly and regularly.

• If you are out running errands, once you get home, wash your hands immediately and out on a change of clothes.

• Use warm water, plenty of soap.

• Carry a small bottle of travel-sized hand sanitizer with you (leave it in the car if you prefer) and use them regularly if water and sinks are not available to you at all times.
