Covid-19 might be Airborne, Ways to Stay Protected

Jul 10, 2020

Few scientists from across the globe made a revelation that Covid-19 can also be airborne. And now WHO has acknowledged the fact that there is “evidence emerging” of COVID-19 being an airborne disease. Their official statement is: “We have been talking about the possibility of airborne transmission and aerosol transmission as one of the modes of transmission of COVID-19,”. Well, whether it is true or not, we now have to be extra careful while stepping out of the house. Check out some ways to stay protected.

First, you need to understand what airborne transmission is:

Airborne diseases are the ones that can spread when people with certain infections cough, sneeze, or talk throwing out the secretion into the air. Some bacteria stay in the air for long and other people can inhale it. This is what airborne is and to prevent yourself you need to cover your mouth and nose.

Wear a mask

We must understand that wearing a mask is a necessity now. Covering you mouth and nose does not only protect yourself but those around you as well. So, wear a mask when you step outside the house.

No air conditioning

Going to places that have air conditioning ,ventilation and are open for the public is very risky these days. So avoid going to malls or restaurants.

Physical distancing

As much as the mask is important, physical distancing is also a key to stay protected. So maintain some distance while you go out.

Stay in a ventilated room

A well-ventilated room is important as it keeps the fresh air coming. This way the virus won’t keep circulating in the same space.

Face shields

Whenever you are going out in a crowded place cover yourself with a face shield. This will prevent you from touching your face.

Washing hands

Do not forget to wash or sanitize your hands regularly.
