Precautions to be taken to prevent spread of infection

Frequently wash your hands (atleast for 20 sec thoroughly) with soap and running water and alcohol based hand rub after coughing and sneezing or when caring for the sick or when in contact with patient of cough and cold or in public gathering.

Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing with flexed elbow or tissue and throw the tissue into closed dustbin immediately after use.

Avoid close contact and stay home when you are experiencing cough and fever and also avoid contact with anyone who has fever or cough or maintain distance of 6 feet (2 metre) from the patient.

Avoid spiting in public and touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid direct, unprotected contact with live animals. Avoid unnecessary travel.

Seek early medical help if you have fever, cough and difficulty in breathing and share previous travel history with your health care provider.

The infection is spread by droplets organisms (size more than 5 micron) therefore, ordinary surgical mask can also give adequate protection.

Mask is not required to be worn by all, only those with respiratory symptoms (coughing, sneezing and fever) need to use it to protect others from getting virus. Dispose used mask properly.

Corona has brought us close to spirituality.

New Delhi: “Jo Hota Hai Bhale Ke Liye Hota Hai” –There is always a positive side of any event or happening and hence we can relate to the spiritual reasons for this kind of pandemic on this earth. It seems that God has pressed the restart button of planet EARTH,’’ said Dr. Sandeep Marwah President of World Peace Development And Research Foundation.

The media and entertainment industry has never believed in dividing the society on the basis of caste, creed, religion, status, region, colour, culture and this kind of pandemic is a proof that once you are sick you are treated by doctors with same kind of medicines, injections and treatment. Believe me that we all are part of the same family- Human Beings. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam .

We have learned that if such an epidemic hits   someone in any part of the World, it hurts us, it makes us worry, it bothers us too. We are somehow connected with unseen chain. Pandemic does not believe in borders of the country nor does it need a passport to cross the boundaries.

During this period we have realized that Health Is Wealth-‘Jaan Hai To Jahaan Hai’ we have been ignoring our food & health giving fast food a priority over the nutritious and hygienic home food but we have now been forced to revert back to the latter.

We had lost the meaning of life but have now been reminded of better values to help and support others especially old and sick people. We had forgotten the value of healthy food, water and medicine and had engrossed ourselves in the collection of luxuries of life, which, we now realize, are not that essential and useless at this time of danger.

It has reunited us with our family and family values which had taken a back seat and had almost vanished into oblivion. This pandemic has brought our families close to each other.

Our presence on earth is not only to make financial gains or to do an office job but also to adopt a humanitarian approach, which means looking after, supporting, loving and protecting each other.

It has taught us not to be egoistic: How powerful, how influential, how rich, or how egoistic you may be a small virus can put your ego to standstill.

It has reminded us the power of energy we possess to support, to help, to share and not to be selfish and only look after us. Doctors, Forces, suppliers they have already opted to be the first one.
.
The present situation is testing us whether we should panic or be patient, whether we are gainers or losers and soon our true colors will start reflecting. At least it teaches us to be positive thinker and worker.

It is reminding us that time has come when we have to learn from our past. Love and respect your Mother Earth. It has taught us that life is very important -there is power of hope, power of healing and power to win. Let’s treat CORONA VIRUS as THE TEACHER OF THE CENTURY and pray almighty to please save us from this calamity.
