In the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the Generalitat Valenciana has made public the decalogue of self-protection that has been prepared by the Ministry of Health to stop the incidence of the virus. These tips, endorsed by the experts of the Generalitat, will make us better protect ourselves from the virus, speed up vaccination and intensify help to those most affected.
All the 10 essential measures that citizens must follow are the following:
- 1. Isolate yourself when you notice any symptoms of Covid without waiting for a confirmation test. Isolate yourself, also from people you live with, and immediately contact the health services.
- 2. If you have symptoms, or have had close contact with a positive case, you should remain in isolation until the toilets are discharged.
- 3. Reduce -everything possible- direct relationship with outsiders to the usual core. "A day is NOT a day."
- 4. If contacts cannot be avoided, let them be in open spaces. This is not the time to go to other people's houses.
- 5. If the relationship is essential, it has to be done with distance, mask and ventilation. Without cheating the loner. Because taking off the mask (wherever it is, also in the home of a relative) opens the door to contagion.
- 6. Hygiene. We have to wash our hands often, with soap and water or hydroalcoholic gel.
- 7. Always carry the mask, also in the workplace, family and social. And change the mask when it exceeds the intended use. Otherwise, you neither protect yourself nor protect others.
- 8. Always keep the distance of meter and a half.
- 9. Avoid crowded spaces, especially the closed ones.
- 10. One last, crucial question that the experts emphasize: That a activity It is legally allowed does NOT mean that it does not involve risk. That is why, at this time, with such a high incidence, we have to exercise common sense and precautions. And do it starting from an idea: "If you trust yourself, you confine yourself."
