I want to know ways to keep myself and my family safe.
If you have a Covid-19 patient at home, you need to try to protect yourself and other family members in addition to caring for the patient.

You should wear a mask: Even if the patient is kept in a separate room, everyone in the room should always wear a mask. You don't have to wear it again, you have to wear a mask that stays tight on your face. For masks that can be washed and worn often, it is best to wear two masks.
It is normal to feel uncomfortable wearing a mask all day long in the house. But there is no other way but to endure it. Try not to touch the mask. Because it is more likely to become infected outside.

The mask cannot be pulled. And if you touch it or leave it open, you should wash your hands with soap.

Hand washing should be enhanced: Caregivers should wash their hands with soap before and after all activities. Hand cleaners should always have them. The eyes, mouth and nose cannot be touched under any circumstances without disinfection.

Used cloth items: First, it is best if the patient can wash the used clothes and utensils alone. If not, the patient's containers should be kept separate. Paste containers should be kept separate and it may be wise to wash them separately. Masks, gloves should be worn after cleaning any utensils, clothing and other items used by the patient. Everything should be rinsed with hot water. You should wash your hands thoroughly after work, it is better to wash.

Housekeeping: Switchboards, door handles, remote controls, water taps, etc., All the most commonly used areas need daily cleaning. It would be better if everyone in the family could make a habit of applying the sanitizer to them after using it.

Health screening for everyone: Not only should the patient be cared for, healthy family members should take care of their own health and that of other people. It is also important to note that some people have symptoms of infection.

It would be wise to buy a pulse oximeter at home. You can learn how to supply artificial oxygen and arrange for oxygen in emergencies.

It is also a good idea to look for emergency numbers and hospitals that will bring an ambulance. To arrange for emergency treatment in the event of an emergency.
