Currently, the world is facing a big problem is the Corona virus which has impacted the whole world and affected all industries in the world. The Coronavirus can be infected from one person to one person by direct touch to the person who has the virus or when we touch the things which the virus stays. Nowadays, Cambodia is facing community spreading(20 February) and people who get infected increase day by day. To end this virus, first we have to protect ourselves from the infected. How to protect ourselves from the infection of the covid-19 or coronavirus? In this article I will give you some guidelines to help you protect yourself from infection of the virus.
The first thing to do to protect yourself is wearing a mask or face shield. The Corona virus can be infected by saliva from people who get infected, so wearing a mask or face shield when we go outside or when we meet people can prevent us from getting infected. However only a mask and face shield is not enough. We have to know some more ways to protect ourselves.
Aside from wearing a mask is to practice social distancing. We should stand at least 6 feets or 1.5 meters from each other. Moreover, to maximize the quality of the protection we should avoid going outside our home. Practice online classes, working remotely and going out only when you need to. Social distancing is very necessary for everyone.
The other important thing to do is try not to attend social gatherings. Social gathering or social activities are the key to spreading the virus more quickly. We cannot know who got infected who did not get infected because the corona virus will not show on people’s faces. The best thing to help ourselves from getting infected is to stay far away from people as much as possible. In public places, the chance of getting infected is very high because people are moving around and touching everything. We must not touch the things in public because the virus can stay on the item for a long time. For example, coronavirus can stay on the paper for 3 hours, stay on cardboard for 24 hours, stay on copper 4 hours, stay on money and glass 4 days, plastic 3 to 7 days, stay on clothes for 14 days.
Last but not least, try not to touch your face, your mouth, your eyes after you go to public places. We might touch the things which the virus stays so do not touch yourself or catch the food. Clean your hands often with clean water and shampoo, alcohol or hand sanitizer after touching the public things , do not touch your mask. Do not reuse the mask because the virus might stay on your mask. Through it away after using it for hours.
Protect yourself, protect your family and friends. Together we can end the corona virus by wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, avoiding social activities such as weeding, or any kinds of parties.
