Infection prevention

(2) Avoiding the “Three Cs (Closed spaces, Crowded places, Close-contact settings)”
1. Closed spaces (sealed spaces with poor ventilation), 2. Crowded places (many people are crowded together), 3. Close-contact settings (Conversations and joint activities take place within reach of each other's arms). ) In cases where these three conditions are met, the risk of spreading the infection is considered to be high. Also, you need to be careful of crowds and close contact even outdoors. Avoid crowds, close-range conversations, especially loud voices and singing.

(3) Vaccination
In addition to suppressing the onset of the new coronavirus infection, the vaccine has the effect of suppressing aggravation. Please check the link below for vaccination information in Itabashi Ward.

Prepare for infection

to prevent aggravation

health care: It is important to check your temperature every day and know your normal temperature. Also, obesity increases the risk of aggravation, so you should always know your own appropriate weight [height (m) × height (m) × 22] and keep it in mind.

Those with underlying medical conditions: People with underlying diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure are at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill if infected. If you have an underlying disease, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions and receive treatment on a daily basis.

no smoking: Smoking also increases the risk of severe disease. If you smoke, try not to smoke.

Stockpiling food, etc.

Treatment for the new coronavirus infection lasts for a minimum of 10 days from the date of onset. Those who are undergoing medical treatment cannot go out. Food is also being delivered from Tokyo, but depending on the situation, it may take some time for food to reach your home, so be sure to prepare food on a daily basis.

Remember what to do in case of high fever

• use antipyretic without patience
  Fever is one of the immune responses your body uses to fight viruses. Use an antipyretic if you have a fever and cannot sleep or drink or eat. However, using antipyretics does not necessarily mean that the fever will go down to normal.
• Stay well hydrated and well-rested
  When you have a fever, your body loses a lot of water, making you more susceptible to dehydration. Dehydration aggravates symptoms such as fever and fatigue. If you have no appetite, try to take fluids containing salt and sugar, such as oral rehydration solutions and fruit juices. The recommended daily water intake for adults is 1 to 1.5 liters/day. *If you have restrictions on water intake or diet, please follow the instructions of your doctor.
