Social distancing is one of the best ways to slow the spread of COVID-19 -- but what if someone in your home contracts it? Advice from a doctor on how to care for your loved one while keeping the rest of your household safe:
We’ve all learned the basics of how to protect ourselves and our loved ones from becoming infected by the virus that causes. Effective social distancing is at the heart of prevention, along with vigilant hand hygiene, disinfecting “high-touch surfaces,” and staying away from sick people.
Designate a separate room where you can close the door, if possible. If that’s not an option, find a space where there is at least 6 feet between the sick person and other people. If possible, the sick family member should wear a facemask when they are around other people . Caretakers can use one too when within 6 feet of a sick person. If a facemask is not available, limit time in close contact to less than 15 minutes and disinfect all surfaces that the sick person has come in contact with. If not having a facemask makes you feel anxious, you can make a DIY face mask at home, though be aware that we still don’t know how much protection a DIY mask truly offers.
Wash laundry thoroughly. If you can, wear disposable gloves while handling soiled items and keep soiled items away from your body. Remember to clean your hands immediately after removing your gloves.
