Empower yourself with the knowledge and confidence to tide over the present COVID crisis.<\/p>\n

The “smart” milestones to negotiate this path are prevention, protection, vaccination, recognition, response<\/strong> and recovery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The following contain very useful tips that can help protect you and your loved ones.<\/p>\n

1. Prevention<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Prevention works. It is the smartest thing to do
\n\u2022 Cough and conversations at close quarters spray you with respiratory and salivary secretions that can be packed with the virus
\n\u2022 When a crowd is present, virus is also present and spreads easily
\n\u2022 Even easier, in a private space with poor ventilation
\n\u2022 Prevention is easy. Keep your mask on, and keep your distance<\/p>\n

\"Prevention\"<\/p>\n

2. Protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Plan your protection – anywhere you work with people
\n\u2022 Keep distance, wear mask properly, sanitize. It works. Keeps you safe<\/p>\n

\"Protection\"<\/p>\n

3. Vaccination<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Avoid the virus, not the vaccine<\/a>
\n\u2022 Ignore the chatter about variants
\n\u2022 Be smart. Take the vaccine on offer. It works.
\n\u2022 It prevents and protects from severe, critical or fatal disease<\/p>\n

\"vaccination\"<\/p>\n

4. Recognition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022 If you slipped up on prevention, time to be smart about an infection you caught
\n\u2022 Recognize the symptoms – fever, sore throat, loss of smell and taste, body ache, fatigue, & diarrhoea
\n\u2022 Be smart. Get tested, and isolate yourself. Don\u2019t pass it on
\n\u2022 Rest for seven to ten days, take fluids and foods that suit you. Take cough syrup and paracetamol that works for you
\n\u2022 Chances are good that it will pass<\/p>\n

\"Recognition\"<\/p>\n

5. Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Respond to these flags that flash “alert!”
\n\u2022 High and prolonged fever, severe body ache, severe fatigue & breathlessness
\n\u2022 Use your pulse oxymeter. If the level remains at 93, and drops after a 6 minute walk, talk to your nurse or doctor<\/a>
\n\u2022 They will guide you about home treatment with oxygen or help you find a hospital<\/a> bed
\n\u2022 It is smart not to treat yourself with antibiotics and unproven drugs. Both are very likely to make you sicker<\/p>\n

\"Response\"<\/p>\n

6. Recovery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022 It is smart to recover at home
\n\u2022 But some will need to be at a hospital
\n\u2022 You may have heard of Cortisones (steroids) and blood thinners<\/a> that work
\n\u2022 Your hospital will hold your hands and take you through it
\n\u2022 COVID can be a slow disease. Recovery can be slow, at hospital and later
\n\u2022 Let your doctor talk, and walk you through it, so that you can shut the door on COVID<\/p>\n
