Is The Coronavirus Something You Need To Worry About?

This year, the world has been taken by a storm in the form of an unanticipated pandemic; the COVID-19 pandemic. First detected in China, it has spread to several dozen other countries. As cases have hit every state in the US as well, there has been the spread of another phenomenon, ‘the infodemic’. This term is used for the misinformation being spread, mainly through digital sources such as social media platforms, which is not only deeply disturbing but is creating a sufficient amount of panic among the masses.

Amidst the pandemic, it is extremely difficult to scrounge for fact-checked, true information and most people settle for what is being fed to them, which is creating a panic mentality. This has led to several problems, the most widely observed being panic buying. People believing the news to be true, are hoarding essentials, intending to prevent a shortage of their supply with them if it happens. Clean Republic condemns such misinformation spread and endeavors to educate people on the correct facts and essentials.

The Virus

To understand the possible effects of the virus on one, one needs to know what it is. Coronavirus is a family of viruses that are common in humans and animals. It is capable of causing a range of illnesses, including common cold and pneumonia. The dangerous fact about this seemingly normal virus is the fact that it is highly contagious.  It can spread from one individual to another by droplets released when infected people sneeze or cough. These droplets can fall on surfaces and infect other people subsequently through eyes, nose or mouth. One should also know that the virus can kill on a surface with the help of sanitizer like HOCl.

Prevention

Since there is no vaccine for this virus and development of one shall take some time, the best way people can save themselves from it is prevention.  While there is no specific treatment for it as well, people need to practice good hygiene in order to prevent its spread.

Maintaining social distance from others is the foremost thing an individual should bear in mind in order to avoid accidental contact with an infected person. Further, one should avoid touching one’s face frequently and cover one’s face when out in public in order to save others if infected oneself.

Clean Republic, like other healthcare providers, strongly recommends washing of hands with soap frequently and disinfecting further with an alcohol-based sanitizer. This is the most widely recommended point to prevent this virus.

Disinfection of surfaces that are frequently touched is another point to be noted. These might include handles, utensils, and doorknobs. That said, it is to be remembered that disinfection requires alcohol-based sanitizers, which are still not widely available. In this wake, Clean Republic has a stock of Hypochlorous Acid, which is a disinfectant and non- toxic sanitizer and is very easy to produce.

The HOCl can prove to be a boon when the number of cases related to this infection is on the rise, and not seeming to dwindle anytime soon.

Health care providers should seek to promote the Hypochlorous acid which is the strongest disinfectant from the chlorine family and can be used for versatile purposes as well as hand sanitation at homes. This disinfectant attacks the wall of the virus and destroys it, along with being a non-toxic sanitizer.

That said, if one feels that one is infected with the virus, they should quarantine or isolate themselves from society until they can reach out to a healthcare provider, which should be done as soon as possible. Other than that, everybody should follow personal hygiene habits.
