The only way to fight with coronavirus pandemic is to practice social
distancing. What do you mean by social distancing and how it is related to
a communicable disease?
Answers
Explanation:
Social distancing is a non-pharmaceutical infection prevention and control intervention implemented to avoid/decrease contact between those who are infected with a disease causing pathogen and those who are not, so as to stop or slow down the rate and extent of disease transmission in a community. This eventually leads to decrease in spread, morbidity and mortality due to the disease
Answer:
Soap kills any bacteria and virus on our bodies
- Soap molecules trap and destabilise microorganisms
- The virus will then detach from the skin and fall apart in soapy water
- Tougher microbes will fall apart with vigorous scrubbing
- Rinsing hands at the end wash dead bacteria and virus away
When we touch our eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, potentially harmful microbes could be entering our system.
For any infection that is transmitted through person to person contact, handwashing with soap regularly is an effective way to help protect yourself and others from infection. COVID-19 is no different. In fact hygiene and handwashing are extremely critical in this fight against coronavirus. Dr Arundati Muralidharan, Manager, Policy, Water Aid India shared,
Handwashing with soap is one of the most important thing, that helps prevent disease and infection activities that we can engage in. Especially now handwashing with soap is the line of defense Against Coronavirus”. This simple thing, done consistently and properly can save lives. Washing one's hands are also is one of the cheapest, easiest and most effective measures against the spread of the Corona Virus. While handwashing is the first line of defense to protect ourselves from the coronavirus that too for at least 20 seconds regularly through the day. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails and dry it with a clean towel.
And here is why soap is actually a really powerful agent it helps to and activates the coronavirus. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap before we prepare food before we eat before we feed our children after we use the toilet after we wash the children When we change children's diapers when we cough when we sneeze when we blew our nose when we are coming in from outside when we come in contact with objects that may be contaminated and when baby we are in touch with people who are sick or unwell”, adds Arundhati. If soap and water isn't readily available, an alcohol-based hand rub that contains at least 60% alcohol can also be used.
