The health experts cannot say enough about ways to avoid getting infected with Corona Virus or
Covid-19.
The most popular daily habits amidst this very evil pandemic include:
1. Social Distancing: Experts earlier said that you should stay six feet away from people. But latest studies have proved that you can still get the virus within six feet. The best is to stay 9 to 10 feet away. Well that's quite a distance away from someone talking to you supposedly through a face mask. But it is still better appearing like you are almost running away from the person talking to you than to get infected by this killer virus Covid-19.
2. Wear a Face Mask: Imagine a world battling the same health war at the same time. The health workers need the mask much more than everyone else since they are the ones constantly exposed to this virus. The best the rest of the world can do to ensure the health workers don't run short of facial masks is to make your own. Find a superbly clean cotton cloth, double it to form kind of a rectangle wide enough to cover your nose and mouth, find a way to tie a strap or rubber band at each edge of the rectangle. Then protect yourself with it. If you do not have any well made face mask, use a clean handkerchief. If you do not have this, use your scarf. If you do not have a scarf, use your shirt. The point here is, it is better to look stupid covering your face with your shirt than to be infected with this deadly disease called Covid- 19 or 'Mororo Vanus' as I heard a grand mum in the village pronounce it. Another called it 'cororia pilot' and also called Hand sanitizer 'tapatiza'. funny as it sounded, it was comforting to know that the story of Covid-19 has really gone round.
3. Wash Your Hands with soap under running water for 20 seconds: I see people washing hands in a bowl. This is wrong, you must wash your hands under running water. I have seen that there are taps fit into plastic drums filled with clean water in some markets. Washing your hands under running water means you are washing the virus away. When you wash your hands in a bowl, you are not washing the virus away, you are washing your hands with 'Covid-19 Water' ready to infect you.
Maintaining these habits will really go a long way to ensure you and your family are staying safe. But do you know that you can do these things and still get the virus?? The answer is a big fat YES because you still have not stopped the habit of touching your face.
You can wear hand gloves all you want but if you touch your face with your bare hands or with your hand gloves on, you are infecting yourself directly since you used the same hands to touch surfaces that an infected person may have also touched.
Popular Covid-19 hot spots include:
These hot spots are most likely infected with Covid-19 so when you touch it and use the same hand to touch your face, you have exposed yourself to Covid-19.
While doing the right thing, be extra wise so that you don't take all the precautions for nothing.
Stay Safe..

Popular Covid-19 hot spots include:
- Door Handles
- ATM Machines
- Purse or wallet
- Remote control
- Keys
- Water bottle
- Railings
- Grocery store items
- Money
- Paper Bags popularly called water proof in Nigeria
- Mobile Phones
- Office desks
- Chairs
- Bank Teller Tables
- The exposed part of worn Face Masks (killer part). I see people use their hands to pull down this mask below their mouth to talk on the phone after which it is pulled back up. What do you think the mask is?? Covid-19 sanitizer? Wrong. It is wise to assume that once you have worn the face mask and have been out in public places, there are droplets of saliva on the masks. Remember that covid -19 is known to be in the saliva of infected people. So be wise.
These hot spots are most likely infected with Covid-19 so when you touch it and use the same hand to touch your face, you have exposed yourself to Covid-19.
While doing the right thing, be extra wise so that you don't take all the precautions for nothing.
Stay Safe..
