As always, regardless of whether you experience symptoms or not adequate hygiene practices are paramount.
Here’s what you need to follow:
- Wash your hands for at least 20 second with soap and water where possible
- When out and about use hand sanitisers with at least 60% alcohol
- Blow your nose and sneeze into a tissue and discard it immediately into a bin
- Clean and disinfect high-touch areas and surfaces regularly with disposable gloves
- Ensure adequate fluid and nutrition in order to get the maximal antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to help support your immune system. Additional supplementation of minerals and vitamins may be required in those who are deficient, over 50 or have medical problems that affect their ability to absorb nutrients. A recent study in December 2020 with a small sample size looked at high dose Vitamin D supplementation in individuals who were deficient and found a link with a higher proportion of no detectable virus.
- Of course, remember to self-isolate at home, with the rest of your household whilst infected with Covid-19. If your symptoms are not improving after 7 days or are worsening, then seek medical attention as soon as possible. In an emergency, call your doctor and inform the call handler that you have a current Covid-19 infection.
