The second wave of Covid-19 is once again hitting a surge in the cases globally. The time is again repeating itself now with a more crucial comeback. So it is highly important to take double the precautions to keep yourself and your surroundings safe because no one is safe until everyone is safe.
Disinfection is one of the major roles that should be followed along with wearing masks and social distancing. If the surroundings are clean it lowers the risk of spreading the infection to half the rate which is high relief at the increasing stress.
5 Tips To Deep Clean And Disinfect Your Living Spaces To Combat Covid-19
Regularly clean the most sensitive areas of your home that are most frequently touched. For ex- Switches, Door Handles, etc.
Wear disposable gloves while disinfecting the spaces to reduce the chance of touching any unhygienic area.
Keep a hand sanitizer near the door entrance or hang it at the doorknob and ask to use it each time an outsider visits your home.
Mop the floors at least 2 times a day especially if someone visits your home to eliminate any outer particles from the indoor spaces
Use a chemical-free floor cleaner to disinfect specifically when there is a member at your home who has a low breathing problem or is asthmatic. Look for a cleaner that has natural ingredients like plant-based surfactants and essential oils to restrain any toxic fumes that can deteriorate health.
Keep a note that if a family member is already infected by the virus at your home it is highly recommended to take the precautions more seriously. The isolated person needs more hygienical care so it is important to pay some extra attention to maintain good health. For instance:
-Provide dedicated cleaning and disinfecting supplies to the person who is sick mostly that cannot be re-used like wipes, tissues, etc.
-If someone else is disinfecting the isolated zone it is recommended to limit the contact with the affected person
-Use a very gentle cleaner that has a mild fragrance (preferably infused with essential oils) because the affected person might be dealing with breathing issues and using high fumed cleaners might irritate their senses.
Apart from following the above habits, it is necessary to follow the basic habits at the individual level like wear a mask whenever you step out of the home, wash your hands immediately when you come in contact with someone if not possible at least use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, keep 6-feet of distancing while interacting with the other person. Along with this keep on following the norms issued by the official authorities. We can get over this together only if we understand our individual responsibilities. Stay Safe!
