Have you ever felt like there's a powerful force watching over you from above, observing every moment of your life?
I certainly do! It's an indescribable feeling of being protected and guided.
Welcome to Season 1 of Beyond Thoughts, where we delve into various topics. Today, we'll discuss how to stay 100% COVID-19 free.
Sneezes and coughs echo around us, accompanied by the sound of ambulance sirens. Daily news reports update us on the rising number of infections, severe cases admitted to the ICU, and unfortunate deaths. This has become the routine for many since the widespread outbreak of COVID-19.
In this new reality, hand sanitizers, antibacterial wipes, and surgical masks have become our essential companions. Some may even go the extra mile by wearing face shields.
Fortunately, hope is on the horizon as COVID-19 vaccines are being administered. It feels like a miracle when our collective wishes are answered.
To stay COVID-free, my personal experience has taught me the importance of keeping your hands sanitized at all times. How? It's crucial to remain vigilant and prioritize sanitization. Whenever you touch something and you're unsure if it has been sanitized, take the time to wash or sanitize your hands before proceeding to the next task or activity, especially during meal times. Let me share what I've practiced, particularly when it comes to grocery shopping. Imagine the items in the supermarket that have been touched by numerous shoppers and staff. Someone may have unintentionally sneezed or coughed on them, or even covered their mouth with their hands before touching the items. Now, picture yourself purchasing these items without considering the potential transmission of the COVID-19 virus. If you then touch your family members, particularly vulnerable babies, or worse, your eyes, ears, and mouth, you unknowingly expose yourself and your loved ones to the virus. Soon enough, you find yourself with a fever, flu-like symptoms, coughing, fatigue, and even loss of taste. The realization hits that your family members have also contracted the virus. It's in moments like these when you realize that disregarding precautions can lead to the COVID-19 virus infiltrating your respiratory system, putting your life and the lives of others at risk.
So, how can we ensure we are 100% COVID-19 free? Whether we're purchasing items from the supermarket or receiving packages through online delivery, it's important to be aware that there's a possibility of the COVID-19 virus being present on these items if someone who touched them had sneezed or coughed.
To ensure that the items we purchase are free from the virus on their surfaces, it's advisable to sanitize them by spraying a mist of sanitizer or washing them with soap. Specifically, when it comes to fruits like apples, grapes, and pears, it's essential to thoroughly wash them before storing them in your house, as it's uncertain how they were handled prior to reaching your hands. By taking these precautions, we can minimize the risk of transmitting the virus to other family members through contact with these surfaces.
When having visitors, it's important to ensure that they sanitize their hands before entering your house and touching any furnishings. This measure helps prevent the transmission of the virus to others within the household. While the visitors themselves may not be infected with the COVID-19 virus, they could have come into contact with the virus on their hands, especially if they have touched lift buttons or handles that may have been contaminated by other public users who coughed or sneezed on them. Given the numerous possibilities and probabilities of the virus being present on various surfaces, with tens of thousands of people getting infected each day, it's crucial to remain vigilant.
To stay 100% COVID-19 free, it seems we need to adopt the mindset of a virus detective. Though it may require some effort and time, incorporating these practices into our daily routine becomes essential for the well-being of ourselves and our families. Let's consider the consequences of getting infected with COVID-19 and take proactive steps to avoid it.
Please remember to be cautious and follow preventive measures to safeguard yourself and those around you.
