What is Coronavirus disease COVID-19 
COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus [Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)]. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
 

Symptoms of Coronavirus disease COVID-19
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some  patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.  Click to large view 

How does this highly infectious disease spread?
People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick.

Whom do we Suspect as a case of COVID-19
A patient with acute respiratory illness {fever and at least one sign/symptom of respiratory disease (e.g., cough, shortness of breath)}, and a history of travel to or residence in a country/area or territory reporting local transmission of COVID-19 disease during the 14 days prior to symptom onset; 
Or
A patient/health care worker with any acute respiratory illness and having been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case in the last 14 days prior to onset of symptoms; 
Or 
A patient with severe acute respiratory infection {fever and at least one sign/symptom of respiratory disease (e.g., cough, shortness breath)} and requiring hospitalisation and with no other etiolgy that fully explains the clinical presentation; 
Or 
A case for whom testing for COVID-19 is inconclusive 

General advice for COVID-19

Avoid close contact with people suffering from acute respiratory infections. 
Frequent hand hygiene, especially after direct contact with ill people or their environment
People with symptoms of acute respiratory infection should practice respiratory etiquette , wear a medical mask and seek medical care for advice

How to Clean and disinfect hands
Use appropriate product and technique

• An alcohol-based hand rub product is preferable, if hands are not visibly soiled. Rub hands for 20–30 seconds!  

   

• Soap, running water and single use towel, when visibly dirty or contaminated with  proteinaceous material.

Wash hands for 40–60 seconds!

    

 
 

How to maintain respiratory hygiene

Respiratory hygiene/ etiquette reduces the spread of microorganisms (germs) that cause respiratory infections (colds, flu).
•Turn head away from others when coughing/sneezing
•Cover the nose and mouth with a tissue.
•If tissues are used, discard immediately into the trash
•Cough/sneeze into your sleeve if no tissue is available
•Clean your hands with soap and water or alcohol based products
Do not spit here and there

Environment cleaning and disinfection steps

It is important to ensure that environmental cleaning and disinfection procedures are followed consistently and correctly.
•Thorough cleaning environmental surfaces with water and detergent and applying commonly used hospital level disinfectants (such as sodium hypochlorite, 0.5%, or ethanol, 70%) are effective and sufficient procedures.
•Medical devices and equipment, laundry, food service utensils and medical waste should be managed in accordance with safe routine procedures.  

Home care for patients with suspected COVID-19 infection with mild symptoms

•Place the patient in a well-ventilated single room (i.e., with open windows and an open door).
•Limit the movement of the patient & minimize shared space
•Household members should stay in a different room or, if that is not possible, maintain a distance of at least 1 m from the ill person (e.g., sleep in a separate bed).
•Limit the number of caregivers - good health and has no underlying disease
•Visitors should not be allowed.
•Perform hand hygiene after contact with patients or their immediate environment, before and after preparing food, before eating, after using the toilet and whenever hands look dirty.
•To contain respiratory secretions, provide medical mask to the patient.  
•Individuals who cannot tolerate a medical mask should use rigorous respiratory hygiene
•Caregivers should wear a tightly fitted medical mask that covers their mouth and nose when in the same room as the patient
•Avoid direct contact with body fluids. Use disposable gloves and a mask when providing oral or respiratory care and when handling stool, urine and other waste. Perform hand hygiene before and after removing gloves and the mask.
•Use dedicated linen and eating utensils for the patient; these items should be cleaned with soap and water after use and may be re-used instead of being discarded.
•Clean and disinfect daily surfaces that are frequently touched in the room where the patient is being cared for (Household soap or detergent should be used first for cleaning, and then, after rinsing, regular household disinfectant-sodium hypochlorite)
•Clean the patient’s clothes, bed linen, and bath and hand towels using regular laundry soap and water or machine wash at 60–90 °C with common household detergent, and dry thoroughly

How to use masks
•Use of Mask is to limit spread of certain respiratory diseases
•Mask alone is insufficient to provide the adequate level of protection and other equally

relevant measures should be adopted – Hand hygiene
•Wearing medical masks when not indicated may create a false sense of security that can lead to

neglecting other essential measures such as hand hygiene practices.
•Using a mask incorrectly may hamper its effectiveness to reduce the risk of transmission.

How to wear a mask

How to remove mask

Environmental decontamination

•Housekeeping surfaces can be divided into two groups
•Those with minimal hand contact (e.g. floors and ceilings)

•“High touch surfaces” – those with frequent hand-contact
High touch housekeeping surfaces in patient-care areas should be cleaned and/or disinfected more frequently like Doorknobs, Bedrails, Light switches, Wall areas around the toilet in the patient’s room, Edges of privacy curtains

Cleaning/disinfection of medical equipment

•Wear gloves when handling and transporting used patient care equipment
•Before removing equipment from patients room, medical equipment must be disinfected
•Non-critical medical equipment e.g., stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, dialysis machines and equipment knobs and controls
•Usually only required cleansing followed by low- to intermediate-level disinfection, depending on the nature and degree of contamination

How to clean soiled bedding, towels and clothes from patients with COVID-19
 
•Clean the laundry and surfaces in all environments in which COVID-19 cases receive care – at least once a day and when a patient is discharged

Hospital disinfectants:
•70% ethyl alcohol for small areas – reusable dedicated equipment (e.g. thermometers)
•Sodium hypochlorite at 0.5% (equivalent 5000 ppm) for surface disinfection
•Individuals/staff dealing with soiled bedding, towels and clothes from patients with COVID-19 should wear appropriate PPE – heavy duty gloves, mask, eye protection (goggles/face shield), long-sleeved gown, apron (if gown is not fluid resistant), and boots or closed shoes
•Never carry soiled linen against body; place soiled linen in a leak-proof bag or bucket
•Perform hand hygiene after blood/body fluid exposure and after PPE removal
•Soiled linen should be placed in clearly labelled, leak-proof bags or containers, carefully removing any solid excrement and putting in covered bucket to dispose of in the toilet or latrine
•Soaked in hot water with soap/detergent in a large drum. •Use a stick to stir and avoid splashing. •Empty the drum and soak linen in 0.1% chlorine for approx. 30 minutes •Rinse with clean water and let linens dry fully in the sunlight

Before throwing the waste material and household garbage at the dumping place or pot, a little care should be taken to separate all non dissolve products in soil like plastic etc, from other garbage. The public should follow the instructions of the Goverment to throw the plastic separately. This will enable smooth and proper disposal of both garbage and plastic. However, the government should provide for separate bin for plastic in every locality.
