Answer:
We are currently living through some extraordinary times, where all of us are experiencing significant changes to our everyday lives.
But even in the face of such extraordinary times, we can make a conscious choice to make the most of this situation – especially for those of us privileged enough to safely stay indoors at a place we can call home. Take advantage of this time to do some much-delayed house cleaning, expand your culinary mastery, or just bank more quality time with yourself or your loved ones.
On that note, I would like to share with you 5 simple tips taken from Greenpeace Hong Kong’s COVID-19 101 booklet to stay safe, healthy, and eco-friendly through this global pandemic and beyond. Check them out below:
1. Buffer Zone vs Living Zone
Dividing your home into a “Buffer Zone” and a “Living Zone” can help lower the risk of bringing the virus into your house. Simply, the Buffer Zone is the area between the entrance and the living space (ex. entrance hall), and the Living Zone is the area you eat and live in (ex. dining room, bedroom). Be sure to remove any items that may have come into contact with the virus – such as your shoes and outerwear – in the Buffer Zone to prevent the virus being carried into your clean Living Zone. Consider placing a laundry hamper or a trash bin in the Buffer Zone for convenience.
Doing this little pre-planning means less areas to clean, which means using less cleaning products, which in turn means less negative impact on our environment. Win, win, win!2. Be a responsible *paw-rent*
There have been a few reports of dogs and cats testing positive for COVID-19. But according to the World Health Organisation (WTO), there is not enough evidence of cats, dogs, or other pets transmitting COVID-19 to humans as of now. Regardless, be sure to give them a little extra TLC for both your and your pets’ safety! Get the lowdown from this helpful Q&A from the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
The most basic thing you can do is to wash your hands before and after caring for your pet, like when preparing their meals or giving a bath. After your pet does their doo-doo business, be sure to disinfect the area thoroughly to make sure your pooch or kitty does not accidentally lick up cleaning product residue.
Last but not least, this one is a no brainer: if you’re feeling ill, it’s best practice to avoid close contact with your snuggle buddies. It is very important to keep physical distancing for everyone’s safety.3. Choose to slow the spread
With the combination of frequent hand washing and physical distancing, wearing a face mask can help to slow the spreading of the virus, according to supporting research. Mask usage has become common practice in many Asian countries since the onset of COVID-19, and more recently, the US, France, and parts of Italy have also urged their citizens to wear “alternative” masks – such as cloth face coverings.
If and when you’re wearing one, here are some simple tips to properly wear your mask:
Choose the correct mask size for your face.
Wash your hands before you put on the mask.
The mask must fit snugly on your face. Press the top part of the mask tightly over the bridge of your nose, and pull the mask all the way down over your chin. Your nose, mouth, and chin should be well-covered.
After putting on the mask, try to avoid touching it for hygienic reasons. If you do touch it – to take it off, for example – be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
Most importantly, be sure to properly dispose of your used masks in the trash bin, and do not litter on the streets or in any public space! Such action is not only irresponsible but also pollutes the environment and helps the virus to spread even more.
Answer:
Covid-19 or the novel corona virus has many affects on the society and in many ways let me explain it in detail.
Explanation:
The pandemic has caused so many changes in the world. people have been gone to their homeland through repatriation fights.people who cannot afford, are worried as their children sleep with empty stomachs at night.Now I will be sharing some few tips on how to stay safe during the global pandemic.
1) sanitizer
this is the most important source of health.when we go out and come back home, we need to ensure that we sanitize atleast our hands because germs, virus , bacteria tend to be on the hands. and we use our hands for so many things. but the most important thing is that we use it for eating.
2)Face mask
well, you might think that it is sometimes it is uneasy to wear a mask while going out but do you know? that when a person coughs( with corona virus), the virus travels from his mouth 25 cm away! and just think if you are standing close to that person even if you apply sanitizer what if it has touched your face?.
3) Safety kit
as I have mentioned in the above lines, that people have been homeless and there is stress and depression everywhere. and so many lockdowns have been implemented, during this time, we need to prepare a kit that contains food grains for emergency if the shops are closed. some medicines for normal cough and fever. and if you have some medical issue then your particular medicines.
4) Just stay at your own home!
most of us before the lockdown thought to go out to our friends house for stay. we should be cautious about this. as it is a worldwide pandemic it can happen to anyone. so it is better to stay at our own homes.
These are a few things that might help you with your question. I hope I was helpful
