The contamination is surprising, rapid and above all disturbing. The coronavirus pandemic didn’t just kill thousands of people. It has also induced a change in the habits of the population. In addition to the economy, social mores have been changed somewhat. Indeed, germs spreading in the air and on several surfaces, the World Health Organization has recommended barrier gestures. This term, which has become very common at the moment, is one of the most suitable tools to limit the spread of the disease.
Since the start of the year, social and individual protection measures against the pandemic have made it possible to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
Social measures
In society, barrier gestures have become social measures whose essence is to limit contact. Thus, it is important to avoid gatherings of more than 50 people and to respect a distance of at least one meter between each individual. Despite the confinement, establishments remain open and offer their service with protective measures.
In these businesses and businesses, the owners have recourse to hygiaphones. These protective plates placed at counters and checkouts to prevent postilions and the spread of germs. These devices easily ordered online and available cheaper. Other tools such as floor marking or hand washing gels are in place for customers.
Due to the restriction of outlets, merchants are increasingly offering secure delivery services to build customer loyalty. Deconfinement will have no impact on these measures. They must therefore be maintained to limit the spread of the virus.
Individual measures
The possibility of successful deconfinement rests on awareness and individual responsibility. Certain barrier actions specific to each individual are therefore necessary. When you move around, be sure to wear a mask to avoid contaminating your loved ones with salivary splashes or inhaling germs in the ambient air.
It is also important when you sneeze or cough that you do so in a tissue that you throw away or in the crook of your elbow. These actions will prevent germs from spreading into the common atmosphere. During this period, optimal hygiene is therefore recommended.
In public places, take care to avoid contact with surfaces and wash your hands regularly with soap and water. These latter organs should no longer be in contact with your face or one or other of the openings in your face. In addition, it is advisable to avoid contact such as braces and handshakes.
When you experience the symptoms of the disease, remember to stay home until these signs are gone. In case of modification, it is important to contact your doctor or emergency.
These measures might seem highly insulating, but they also help protect you and those around you. The most important thing is to reduce contact with infected surfaces and the inhalation of germs through any of the facial entrances. Those already infected and the most vulnerable will have to exercise great caution in order to gradually reduce the impact of this disease on social life and humanity.
The barrier gestures established by WHO have the interest of ensuring the health security of communities and individuals. Despite their number, they remain simple and can be easily integrated into common and daily habits. The gradual control and total eradication of the coronavirus from the population depends greatly on our sense of responsibility.
