I know this is a beauty and skincare blog, but I can't help but feel the need to put out a post regarding COVID 19. After all, the more I try and forget about it, the more it is in my face everywhere I turn. We are all in uncertain times, but if we work together, we will all get through this. Below are some common questions regarding COVID 19.
*It is a virus, with its full capacity not fully understood yet.
*This virus was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and the first infections were linked to a live animal market.
*It can be transmitted from person to person usually when within 6 feet of each other.
*It is transmitted through droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs and others inhale these droplets.
*It can be transmitted if a person touches an infected surface and then touches their face, mouth or eyes.
*Fever
*Cough
*Difficulty breathing
*Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure
*Older adults and those with underlying health conditions
*Immunocompromised people
*Call your doctor. Do not go in as this increases potential spread.
*Keep yourself isolated and away from others for 14 days.
*Get tested once you no longer have symptoms to ensure you are no longer carrying the virus with the potential to spread it .
*If you need to go to the hospital, call ahead of time so healthcare workers can take necessary precautions for when you arrive. Wear a mask as this may trap any droplets from your cough inside decreasing the risk of exposure to others.
*Wash your hands frequently. Do not touch your face, eyes or mouth.
*If you have been around someone with COVID 19, then you may be infected and need to self isolate for up to 14 days to be sure.
*Call your doctor to see if you can get testing to confirm or deny if you are infected.
*Do not travel and wear a mask if you cannot avoid coming in contact with people i.e. your family.
*Practice social distancing i.e. 6 feet away from others.
