Mangaluru, Feb 1: “1) Take necessary precautionary measures. 2) Don’t blindly believe in social media rumours.” These are the two important advisories issued by the authorities in Dakshina Kannada district in the wake of coronavirus scare.
According to DHO Dr Ramakrishna there is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for coronavirus infection. Supportive care for infected people can be highly effective, but, there is no vaccine available for coronavirus.
In a health meeting, he advised people to take precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Following are some of the precautionary measures.
1) Wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitiser.
2) Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
3) Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
4) Stay home when you are sick, and cover your mouth when you cough or use a tissue while sneezing.
5) Throw the used tissue in the dustbin. Clean and disinfect surfaces frequently.
Deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said there is no need for people to panic about coronavirus.
Dakshina Kannada zilla panchayat CEO R Selvamani said IEC programmes will be held to create awareness on possibilities of spread of diseases.
He also advised people not to follow blindly the advisories being shared on social media, especially WhatsApp without proper verification.
“Posts on cures for coronavirus which are not scientifically proven are being shared on social media. Do not follow such advisories without verifying facts,” he said.
