Biggest Myths And Prevention Of Coronavirus (COVID-19) :

Coronavirus :Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
               Most people infected with the    COVID-19 virus will experience mild to      moderate respiratory illness and recover  without requiring special treatment.Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.

Biggest Myths Around Coronavirus(COVID-19):
      
                          According to World Health Organization(WHO) there are some myths around Coronavirus. 

Myth-busters:

               There is a lot of false information around.These are the facts.

  • People of all ages CAN be infected by the coronavirus. Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus. 

  • Cold weather and snow CANNOT kill the coronavirus.

  • The coronavirus CAN be transmitted in areas with hot and humid climates

  • The coronavirus CANNOT be transmitted through mosquito bites.

  • There is NO evidence that companion animals/pets such as dogs or cats can transmit the coronavirus.

  • Taking a hot bath DOES NOT prevent the coronavirus

  • Hand dryers are NOT effective in killing the coronavirus

  • Ultraviolet light SHOULD NOT be used for sterilization and can cause skin irritation

  • Thermal scanners CAN detect if people have a fever but CANNOT detect whether or not someone has the coronavirus

  • Spraying alcohol or chlorine all over your body WILL NOT kill viruses that have already entered your body

  • Vaccines against pneumonia, such as pneumococcal vaccine and _Haemophilus influenzae_ type b (Hib) vaccine, DO NOT provide protection against the coronavirus.

  • There is NO evidence that regularly rinsing the nose with saline has protected people from infection with the coronavirus. 

  • Garlic is healthy but there is NO evidence from the current outbreak that eating garlic has protected people from the coronavirus.

  • Antibiotics DO NOT work against viruses, antibiotics only work against bacteria.

Prevention Of Coronavirus:To date, there is NO specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the coronavirus. So we have to protect ourselves from this virus by following these steps 

  • Wash your hands frequently

  • Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose

  • Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze

  • Avoid crowded places

  • Stay at home if you feel unwell - even with a slight fever and cough

  • If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early - but call by phone first. 

Conclusion:  Stay Home 
                         Stay Safe 


                     Thank You..!!!
