On Monday 2 March 2020, Indonesia declared the initial two instances of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
WHO comprehends that numerous individuals are apprehensive and questionable. Be that as it may, frenzy and nervousness won’t help us to battle the infection. As of now, we have to allude to the basic yet compelling avoidance gauges that are being shared by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, WHO and accomplices; specifically, on the utilization of masks.
“Utilizing a mask can give a misguided feeling of security for sound individuals,” WHO Representative to Indonesia, Dr N. Paranietharan says. “On the off chance that you don’t wear the mask appropriately, contact the mask with unwashed hands, or expel it inaccurately, you can really put yourself at more serious danger of coincidentally transmitting germs and making yourself or others wiped out.”
There are four key focuses that everybody must think about who needs a mask:
On the off chance that you are solid, you don’t have to wear a mask, except if you are dealing with an individual with suspected COVID-19 disease.
Wear a mask in the event that you are hacking or wheezing.
Masks are successful just when utilized in blend with visit hand-cleaning with cleanser and water or liquor based hand rub.
In the event that you wear a mask, at that point you should realize how to utilize it and discard it appropriately.
Besides, the right methodology to wear and evacuate a mask must be followed to guarantee the viability.
Prior to putting on a mask, clean hands with cleanser and running water or liquor based hand rub.
Spread mouth and nose with mask and ensure there are no holes between your face and the mask.
Abstain from contacting the mask while utilizing it; on the off chance that you do, clean your hands completely right away.
Supplant the mask with another one after long use or when it is clammy. Don’t re-utilize single-use masks.
To evacuate the mask: expel it from behind (don’t contact the front of mask); dispose of quickly in a shut receptacle; clean hands with cleanser and clean water or liquor based hand rub.
The unexpected flood of mask buy, lamentably, has happened all around. Costs of clinical and N95 masks are being swelled and accessibility of stock is exhausting. A deficiency of individual defensive rigging, including masks, can leave the bleeding edge responders of COVID-19 perilously defenseless and may compound the spread of sickness as is occurring in certain nations. Indonesia must gain from different nations and not let such a circumstance happen.
“On the off chance that you are solid, if you don’t mind save the masks for the individuals who are displaying influenza like side effects or for the medicinal services laborers and parental figures taking care of them,” Dr Paranietharan said.
