By now you have heard about corona. This pandemic is spreading and affecting more people day by day. Situation is getting worse. The corona virus crisis is a crisis like no other, and for emerging market and developing economies it has triggered a policy response like no other, both in scope and magnitude. No one really knows how many people will be infected or will pass away sadly, but it has caused the global stock markets to crash, which means if you are a business person or even a marketer, you will be affected. The Indian Council of Medical Research says that the number of cases would have reached 820,000 by mid-April without the lockdown. Right now India’s total number of cases is just under twelve thousand, including 392 deaths. COVID-19 testing has increased to over sixteen thousand tests per day. Mumbai and Delhi has turned out hotspot of India with caseloads growing triple digits of India. In this situation it’s getting difficult to Work in office and many other activities which keep us in contact with other. Covid-19 impacting on all facets of life, in all countries and in all industries. No one is certain about how much and how long the impact of the pandemic will last on the global economy. Indian government decided to lockdown in whole country from 21st March to prevent spread. HMV industries are also supporting the prevention of Covid-19 by following the steps of Work from home Module. The main challenge of WFH is to derive same performance levels in terms of quality and productivity from the employees on a continuous basis. But right now we are left with only this option. It’s time to save life.
We can reduce our chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking some simple precautions:
- Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand wash or rub. Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
- Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others because when someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
- Avoid going to crowded places because When people come together in crowds, you are more likely to come into close contact with someone that has COVID-19 and it is more difficult to maintain physical distance of 1 metre (3 feet).
- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
- Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately and wash your hands. Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
- Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your house, wear a mask to avoid infecting others. Why? Avoiding contact with others will protect them from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
- If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, but call by telephone in advance if possible and follow the directions of your local health authority. Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
- Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national health authorities. Local and national authorities are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.
