There is an outcry in the country from Corona. Every day a new covid case is being recorded. The number of deaths is also increasing. Hospitals, on the other hand, are suffering from lack of beds and oxygen. Patients are dying due to lack of proper treatment in time. However, the relief is that 81% of the patients still have minor symptoms or no symptoms at all. Such patients can easily recover at home. If they keep in mind some important things, then they will not have the chance to go to the hospital and there will be no problem in getting rid of the epidemic by staying at home. So let us understand what we should take care of in this phase of epidemic that is gaining momentum every day.

What to do when you see symptoms of Covid

If you have the above symptoms, immediately isolate yourself.  Lock yourself in a room that has the most facilities for ventilation.  If the bathroom is attached to that room then it will be icing on the cake.  Most importantly, do not wait for the investigation to be done and the report to come.  By the time the report comes, you will have distributed the disease to many people.

If you are tested positive and have been advised to stay in home isolation, you will have to periodically measure body temperature and oxygen levels and keep the District Monitoring Officer (DSO) updated. Then the DSO will take a decision according to your health. You should also download the Arogya Setu app on mobile. Wherever you are, maintain a distance of at least six feet from the other person. Do not let anyone use your utensils, clothes, mobile phones etc. If anyone else is compelled to stay in your room, then try your best to keep the room open.

Measure oxygen level

Purchase pulse oximeter from the market and keep measuring the amount of oxygen in the blood.  If you lie down or lie on your bed, you may not get the correct reading of oxygen level. Therefore, doctors say that after measuring oxygen level, take a walk for six minutes and re-apply the oximeter.  Then see if you already have a low reading of six or more points, then you need treatment. You should measure temperature and oxygen every hour.

When to leave home quarantine

The Health Ministry says that 10 days after the first time you see symptoms of corona, you will be healthy, unless you have been experiencing fever for the last three days.  That is, if the fever does not come from the seventh day to the 10th day after showing the symptoms, then understand that you are free from the epidemic.  However, you should still remain aloof for the next seven days.  If you do not see any symptoms, then you should meet someone at least 10 days after being found positive.
