First off, DON’T PANIC!
Having a plan and practicing precautionary measures is step one to COVID-19 management.
Symptoms of COVID-19
Fever, cough, myalgia (muscle aches), fatigue, vertigo, shortness of breath, sore throat. headache, nasal congestion. sputum production (can be bloody), diarrhea. nausea. or respiratory distress symptoms as in pneumonia. It takes 2-14 days (give or take 5 days) once the virus gets into the body for the infected person to feel ill. but they are contagious from the start.
Practice Prevention and Use Precaution
- Wash your hands and wrists and face frequently with soap and water. Wash for 20 seconds under hot water and get a good lather going. Rinse from top to bottom. back to front.
- Cover your cough/sneeze into sleeve.
- Don’t touch your face. Resist the temptation. Your WET tissue is the most vulnerable to an invading organism.
- Eat clean. Functional.
- Stay hydrated.
- Moderate stress.
- Exercise (outdoors at home).
- Get fresh air.
- Sleep 8 hrs each night.
- Consider immune supportive nutrients/foods.
- Exposure occurs within 6 ft. of someone infected whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic. The longer you are around someone within that distance. the more likely contact exposure will occur (i.e. an airplane seat). Consider your risk when attending group events.
- Have at least a two week supply of your basic needs in your house. Food/toilet paper /bleach/ castor oil/mustard plaster supplies.
- Remember that the virus can spread from a surface to a person. Resist the urge to touch your face!
