The Dhaka Times Desk The present government has taken sufficient steps to prevent the second wave of corona virus. In such a situation, as citizens of the country, we also have some moral responsibilities. Today we will know the issues of self isolation.
Total lockdown is going on all over the country. It is the responsibility of all the citizens of the country to make this lockdown a success. Meanwhile, people who are showing symptoms of corona have been asked not to panic.
Doctors who are experts in this matter said that those who are receiving treatment at home will be able to recover from corona if they follow certain restrictions. Hospitals in the country have sufficient capacity to treat serious cases.
You must get treatment as per the advice of a specialist doctor only if symptoms of corona appear. All restrictions given must be observed. In this case, it is very important for the patient to be very careful and aware of some other things including self-isolation. Let's discuss that:
How to do self isolation
Begin isolation in an empty room as soon as symptoms of corona appear or the doctor advises self-isolation. Never go outside except for medical or other special reasons. You should not do this even after being in close proximity to a person infected with the corona virus. Never let family members come near you. In this way, at least 14 days should be in isolation. Then, if the corona test comes back negative, then you can live a normal life.
Things that are important to note
Choose a room for your self-isolation where anyone outside can easily provide you with food and other essentials while maintaining physical distance. When coughing and sneezing, you must hold a handkerchief or a cloth over your nose and mouth. Wash the handkerchief or that cloth later. In this case, there is no alternative to wearing a mask. Don't use anything from anyone in the house. Don't let them use anything you use. In case of contact, wash thoroughly with soap and use sanitizer.
How to use the bathroom
During self-isolation of a corona patient, a separate toilet facility is required for the patient. If that is not possible, i.e. all family members use the same bathroom, then some things must be careful. Use your own towels, brushes, soaps, shampoos, etc. only by yourself. Bring them back to your room after using them in the bathroom. So that they are not touched by anyone else. You should flush the bathroom after every use. Also, all the other members who are there should pour a few mugs of water in the beginning when they go to the bathroom and sanitize everything from the bathroom faucet to the things that the corona patients have touched.
