Things to do if someone living with you has COVID 19

With the rapid growth of the virus, covid 19 has now become common in every house. Since the virus now has some symptoms, every person showing symptoms must be tested. They must be taken proper care of within the virus period so that it does not spread to others. But, the asymptomatic patients as well should be very cautious. However, there are some precautions that you can follow if someone who lives with you has tested positive for covid.

Isolate them in another separate room

The covid person must stay isolated in a single bedroom with the door closed. They must come out only in times of going to the bathroom. It would be better if the person remains isolated in a room with an attached bathroom. Make sure to keep the window open so that there is no contamination of the virus in the air. It will also prevent the spreading of the covid virus to other family members.

Help them hydrate and track their symptoms

Ensure that the covid infected person is drinking bottles of water and other clear liquids without alcohol. Ask them to check their body temperature about three to four times a day without going near them. If any symptoms occur, note them down and contact the doctor for patient safety.

Keep them entertained and comfortable

Ensure that the isolated person has proper pillows and blankets, books, magazines, television, or a computer. It will keep them engaged. Ensure that the house is quiet so that they can sleep peacefully without any disturbances.

Give them proper food maintaining safe distances

Use a separate cookie sheet or tray for the covid infected person so that they can be used to serve foods whenever needed. If they can get up from their bed, keep the served food or drinks outside the door, and walk away. Once they are done with their meals, ask them to keep the tray outside and close the door. Wear a proper mask and pick up the tray and wash it thoroughly after every use. Serve food in use and throw plates for the covid patients. It can be thrown away after every use.

Do not allow outsiders

If a person in your house has the covid, you should not have guests at your place or any people working inside your house. If some emergency is there, ask the outsider to do the work from outside of the house, maintaining a safe distance of six feet.

All these precautions mentioned above should be maintained with proper care so that the virus does not infect others living in the house. After all, safety is our priority. And with proper healthy food and a safe environment, it is highly possible to come out as a covid warrior!
