20 nguyên tắc đơn giản ai cũng cần nắm rõ để cùng nhau đi qua mùa dịch Covid-19 - BS Trần Quốc Khánh

MSc Tran Quoc Khanh (Viet Duc Hospital) recently gave short, easy-to-apply tips for everyone to go through the Covid-19 season together with confidence and bravery.


"Brothers and sisters, the Covid-19 epidemic in our country  is at a TIPS, at this point we should not focus on who is the starter because anyone can play such a role," said Dr. Tran. Quoc Khanh emphasized.


Instead, the expert advised, we need to focus on fighting the epidemic. Specifically, whether the epidemic is controlled or will make the epidemic spread depends a lot on our consciousness and what each of us does every day. BS Khanh considers this a very important and decisive factor.



20 content to prevent Covid-19, the community helps each other through the epidemic season

How to effectively control the epidemic comes from the consciousness and actions of each individual. Dr. Tran Quoc Khanh sent a summary of 20 contents for each citizen to understand and practice together. Specifically:


1. Practice infection control for the whole family (Wash your hands often, always gargle with an antiseptic solution after going out or before going to bed and after waking up…).


2. Practice improving resistance (Exercise, get at least 6 hours of sleep, use probiotics, eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, use foods with resistance like lemon, ginger, garlic, etc.) honey, mushrooms...).


3. Drink lots of water, extremely important.


4. Keep your mind calm. Bewilderment, anxiety and anger will seriously weaken our immune system - our resistance.


5. Exposure to natural light every day. Put on a mask and walk the whole family together in an empty place every morning or every afternoon, for at least 30 minutes.


6. Clean the surfaces of everyday objects such as phones, computers, keys, watches, eyeglasses, toilets, door handles, car steering wheels...

9. Declare and proactively isolate when relatives return home.


10. Stock up on antipyretics, thermometers, oresol, antiseptic solutions and 3 cloth masks for each person.


11. Monitor official information channels about the epidemic situation (Government portal, Ministry of Health, Vietnam Television, Voice of Vietnam, WHO, CDC...).


12. Contact the hotline of the Ministry of Health when you need advice 19009095/19003228.


13. Preliminary distinction between symptoms of Covid-19 infection (dry cough, sore throat, almost no sputum & fluid, very high fever, chest pain & difficulty breathing) from common cold (sneezing) profuse, profuse discharge, body aches, mild or no fever, rarely shortness of breath and severe lower chest pain).


14. Working online, small group (if possible) now.


15. Meetings do not need to take off masks nor should they shake hands, hug and cuddle each other at this time. It is best to talk at least 1.8 meters apart.


16. Limit gatherings in crowded places such as funerals, weddings, etc. Cancel all unnecessary meals and parties.


17. Limit travel and movement at this time.

19. Anyone showing signs of suspicion (fever, cough or suspected contact with an infected person..) please self-isolate at home, always wear a mask when going out, do not shake anyone's hand, do not attend events or gatherings of people for 14 days.


20. Be ready to comply with isolation if you are in the group that needs to be isolated at the request of the epidemic control agency. As well as should not discriminate against anyone, because this epidemic will not spare anyone..


"Through many arduous wars, we all won. So this time, along with the drastic isolation from the government, let's each of us practice preventive advice, share encouragement and mutual support. As well as spreading positive-kind things, the doctor believes that the country will control the Covid-19 epidemic", Dr. Tran Quoc Khanh emphasized in the conclusion.
