If you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in your relative, pharmacist Elvyra Ramaškienė says that it is very important to avoid any contact with him.
“If your loved one has a mild illness, treatment at home may be allowed, but it is important to isolate yourself from other family members. It’s better if I could live alone or at least be in another room, ”says a pharmacy representative.
A separate cup, fork, and even towel
It is important to note that people infected with this virus should not only spend time in another room, but also use a private bathroom if possible. According to E. Ramaškienė, if such a possibility does not exist, it is important to ensure that the infected person does not meet other family members and that the premises are fully disinfected.
It also has the support of the pharmacist Laura Gogogienė. She says that in case patients stay together at home, it is important that you wear a medical mask and disposable gloves and do not forget to change protective equipment regularly.
The pharmacist also emphasizes that a person with coronavirus should use separate household items: towels, dishes, thus avoiding additional contact with other family members.
Last but not least, the patient should wash their hands regularly and follow the hygiene of sneezing and coughing; this would do to the elbow or handkerchief, which should be discarded immediately.
Contact with the patient
The pharmacist warns that if you have been in contact with a person infected with coronavirus, self-isolation is also necessary.
“As with a sick person, it is recommended to isolate yourself in a separate room and have as little contact as possible with other family members, as well as someone who may have had contact with an infected person,” says E. Ramaškienė.
If you have been in contact with someone with a coronavirus, it is very important to monitor for symptoms of the disease, such as fever, frequent cough, shortness of breath, and loss of taste and smell. If you are not feeling well, it is important to call 1808 and follow all the recommendations of the specialists.
Pharmacists recommend avoiding unnecessary contact with other people, spending more time at home, washing your hands frequently, and keeping a safe distance from others.
