Many hospitals will struggle to manage a large number of sick people in the hospital at the same time. A few countries are trying to avoid this by applying the stay at home isolation for sick people and Norway is at the top of that. To avoid overflow in the hospitals around Africa where they are ill-equipped to handle a large number of sick people, it is best to know the coronavirus risk zone now.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) risk zone and how to stay safe
Coronavirus has now killed over 4,300 people worldwide and at least 121,500 have contracted the infections.
The W.H.O yesterday declared the COVID-19 a pandemic and some necessary steps are recommended to stay healthy. Africa is having much less attack from what Asia, America and Europe are having with the virus. There are about 100 cases so far in 11 countries and a number of people in quarantine in Nigeria. With 59 cases Egypt has half the entire number of cases confirmed in all of Africa. In South Africa, all 13 cases that were diagnosed have all travelled abroad in the last weeks.
A medical expert Norman Swan warns that the gym is a risk zone for the spread of COVID-19. The air in the gym is typically stuffy and offers a comfortable temperature for virus spread.
Sweat and moist in closed environments like the gym could heighten the spread of germs. This gives you an idea of all the possible locations that will be risky now.
Shared spaces like bus transport in many African countries which are often packed with people sitting tightly close to each other.
Many homes are just as humid as the gym and have poor air system. It is important to get as much air circulation as possible and wipe surfaces before touching them.
Money is also a vector for spreading a virus as contagious as coronavirus. Avoid carrying cash as much as you can.
It is impossible to stop doing some of these things, but they should be done with more caution now. A person who has the virus can only transmit it when they sneeze or cough into their hands and touch a surface.
