Coronavirus
There’s just no ignoring the fact Coronavirus has gone global is there. The first death in the UK which has followed a nationwide shortage of hand sanitizer as the panic is spreading just as fast.
Hand Gel
Public Health directors recommend when you cannot use a sink, soap and water, that you sanitise your hands while out and about in public especially after touching surfaces that are multi - contact such as lift buttons or hand rails on trains, etc.
Masks
Having seen 1 or 2 people wearing the masks in the UK the Public Health directors say only if you’re ill coughing or sneezing, should a mask be worn in public.
Good old fashioned, common sense is the answer to halting the transmission of the virus - hand washing for 20 seconds after going to the toilet, before eating and after doing particularly dirty activities. If your hands are socially clean and you’re not near a sink, use hand gel. Cover up your cough or sneeze, use a disposable tissue, not your sleeve.
Re-useable Coffee Cups
Starbucks have a temporary ban on bringing your own re-useable coffee cup in an effort to halt the virus transmission and as a precaution, as well as other sanitising methods, but apart from stopping us bringing our own cups, it’s service as usual.
Shopping Malls
Shopping centres have added Purell hand sanitizer dispensers in areas such as entrances and by the cash points. Money has changed many hands and could be a route of transmission.
There is no need to self isolate or close schools unless a high number of people exhibit symptoms in one place at the same time. A few extra hygiene practices, but some things we should be doing outbreak or no outbreak!
