IN PICS! Keep windows, doors open to reduce coronavirus risk, AIIMS doctor says

To block the spread of coronavirus, which has claimed over lakhs of lives, the health experts are asking people to keep windows and doors open.

People should switch off air-conditioner and breath fresh air to reduce the chances of infection.

The central government has said the corona is spreading through the air. As a result, people are now afraid of the corona virus entering the house if there is a corona patient in a neighboring house or passing by.

The Center has also asked people to wear masks at home. However, doctors say there is no need to do anything different to avoid corona infection.

Wear a mask when walking outside, keep a physical distance. The person who goes out should wear a mask at home. This will reduce the risk of covid in people at home, doctors said.

On the other hand it is not okay to pack the house completely. Instead, it is advisable to ventilate the house and keep the windows and doors open.

The doctor said that if anyone has covid at home, they must wear a mask. Even if you don't, if you live in a high-rise building in a densely populated area, it would be better to wear a mask at home.

AIIMS doctor Vikram says that if a person goes out of the house, he can bring corona infection from outside. Even if he does not have corona symptoms, he can infect other members of the household. This requires wearing a mask at home. If there are fewer members, they can stay in different rooms. There is no need for other members to wear masks.

Air circulation is must in a house where there is covid positive person, senior doctor Kamaljit Singh Kanth said. If there is an infected person in the house and its infected particles remain in the house and people who are not infected in the house are also at risk. So one should open the windows of the house.

If windows are installed, windows and doors need to be opened at least twice a day. Those who live in confinement are at higher risk of infection. There is no need to panic, wear a mask at home and keep social distance and wash your hands, Kamaljit has advised.
