The second wave of corona has been controlled to a great extent in our country, which was far more dangerous than the first wave that started last year. Now many national and international health experts are anticipating a third wave of corona in September-October. Knocking on the other side is its delta variant, whose intensity is quite high. In view of all this, we should prepare in advance. Amid the fear of a third wave and its impact on the younger age group, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has said that if there is a possibility of a third wave of Covid-19 and it will affect children, It is estimated that the central and state governments will have to make a timely strategy to protect children and newborns from infection.
Some important points to demolish third wave:
Only Vigilance Will Save: Media is continuously reporting that for the last few days Corona cases are also increasing with the Delta Plus variant, raising the possibility of a third wave. Director of AIIMS, New Delhi, Dr. Randeep Guleria says that the way people are not following the Covid protocol after the unlock given the third wave it will be difficult to avoid. Be it the third wave or the delta variant, it is most important to keep three things in mind to avoid it. Strict adherence to the Covid protocol, better strategy and vaccination to deal with the cases of Covid. In view of this situation, we need to be cautious, so that unforeseen situation can be avoided.
Don't forget the basic rule: Maintain a physical distance of two yards. Wear a mask Keep hands clean with sanitizer or soap.
Maximum Testing: More and more testing is most important, so that by identifying infected people immediately and preventing the spread of infection to other people. If you have the slightest doubt, then get corona test immediately.
Vaccination: Get more and more people vaccinated as soon as possible. The higher the vaccination, the better will be our preparedness to avoid the third wave.
Use of double mask: Use a double mask, as it provides more protection than a single mask. Use best quality N-95 masks instead of cheap ones. A surgical cloth mask can be tied over it. Avoid cheap masks. These prove to be troublesome for your ears, skin and breathing. You take them off frequently and thus the risk of infection increases.
Avoid indoor gathering: Avoid gathering in closed places. Take care of ventilation in the home office, so that the air becomes clean quickly.
Avoid self medication:During the second wave of covid, most people have taken medicines on their own without consulting a doctor. It is not okay to take medicines on your own or imitate someone else's advice. If a medicine is suitable for one person, it is not necessary that it should benefit the other.
Do not use steroids in the beginning: Doctors and the family members of the patient also need to be cautious during the treatment. Steroids should not be given from the first day of treatment. It should be given from day 6 onwards, otherwise mucormycosis may occur.
