Being a commoner it always feels like we must do our bit. We must be somehow involved in bringing this human threat down. How can we help might be the question of millions right now. But let me tell you this. 

It is only you and you that can help the authorities. 

Let us move to how.

• The key factor is staying indoors. If you don’t have any symptoms even, stay indoors. This is going to help you not catch the virus. And if someone from your household feels like having caught the virus, isolate him and keep distance from his. Maintain a distance of 1 meter from each other.
• Self-isolate if you are finding any symptoms in yourself. Analyse yourself for a 14 days period. We are sure if you are mildly affected by the disease, by this time you will be cured. Else this is the time you need to make your visit to the doctor.
• Don’t make unnecessary visits to hospitals. If some relative of yours is admitted to hospital, call his caretaker or call him. But  don’t go there at all.
• Stop visiting your relatives. These are not vacations that we enjoy. We have a serious problem to deal with.
• Clean your hands periodically. Use sanitizer oftenly. Sanitizer should be alcohol based as it kills the virus. Now don’t start drinking alcohol please. There is a difference between drinkable alcoholic drinks and those prepared in laboratories for medical or perfuming reasons.
• Avoid putting your hand/fingers in your nose, mouth and eyes. If hands are contaminated there is a great chance that you are going to get ill.
• Cover your face- the nose and mouth. Sneeze or cough or clean your nose in tissue and then dispose of it properly.

Extended periods spent at home can also cause feelings of boredom and loneliness. The loss of personal freedom associated with isolation and quarantine can often feel frustrating. You may also experience anger.

It is said precaution is better than cure.If you are feeling any symptoms it is solely your responsibility to quarantine yourself. Remain in isolation for a period of 2 weeks. Avoid physical nearness with any one. Use a mask, use sanitizers. Although there are no medications present till now, nevertheless China has been successful in treating its patients all by isolating those who were severely ill. Thousands have been cured and those to be cured are more in number than those who died. This was definitely made possible only because thinking as a nation, for the betterment of all and stepping back. Chinese have proved that it is possible to fight this deadly virus all by will, determination, positivity and believing in one another and believing in humanity.
