by Dynamix Group Writer

As we enter the fourth month since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in the country, the importance of social distancing and taking precautions against the virus has increased manifold. The nature of the virus has forced nations across the globe into lockdowns and restricted all of us to our homes. Medical fraternity is facing a crisis like never before, while the mortality rates have crossed 7.94 million.

The economic implications of this global pandemic have been catastrophic for many. Keeping this in mind, the government has eased the rules and regulations to have certain businesses open and running now. While most of us continue to work from home, some have to head out and attend office either on a regular basis or at least once a week. The thought of heading out and exposing yourself to environments including a number of people can be quite daunting in such times. However, we have certain guidelines that you can follow to avoid the spread of coronavirus within your workplace or at home. 

Thumb Rules

Some of the precautionary measures that we all need to incorporate in our lives regardless of where we are, include:

·         Not touching your face, nose or eyes

·         Using sanitizer to disinfect your hands at regular intervals

·         Wearing face masks

·         Washing hands before and after meals for a minimum of 20 seconds

·         Maintaining adequate social distance

Use the Stairs

If your office or workstation is not on the ground floor, it is best to use the stairs in place of the elevators. If elevators cannot be avoided make sure that there are not too many people in the lift, keep yourself away from the surface and use elbows or toothpicks to access buttons or doors.

Disinfect your Workstation

Although your office might be indulging in disinfecting the desks and tables, one can never be over protective in case of a global pandemic. Carrying a disinfectant and cleaning your desk and chair before you start working is something everyone should follow. It is best to wear gloves and masks while you continue to work in office all day to avoid any direct contact with a possibly contaminated surface.

If you are looking for masks, gloves, alcohol sanitizers and other medical supplies, you can procure them online through Smart Medical Buyer, a leading distributor of medical equipment and supplies.

Don’t Take it Home

Before you head back inside your house, all tired from the day’s work, make sure you get yourself and your belongings sanitized. Leave your shoes outside, put your clothes for wash and head straight for a shower. Disinfect all that you carried with you outside the house and do not touch any surface before you take a bath.
