It is so astonishing to see that a virus that has suddenly errupted in one part of the world has so rapidly taken over across the globe and brought everyone working on it. No doubt as we globally shrink it is inevitable that anything that happens in any corner of the world is gradually going to spread across.
If I am worried about Coronavirus? The answer is yes but I am not psyched about it. I am worried majorly because of my husband's health condition. His immunity is very low and he is prone to infections very fast.
2 weeks ago we travelled from Mumbai to Muscat, the travel was smooth we did not have any hassles. When we arrived at the Muscat airport they gave us a questionnaire with some basic checks, after filling up when we handed it, they had a glance at it and allowed us to pass by. But after that there have been 4 cases of Coronavirus reported, all travelling from Iran. As a precaution they have suspended all flights to and fro Iran.
After returning in a week's time my hubby's condition again relapsed and we had to admit him to the hospital. At the hospital when they got to know that we had travelled just a week ago they put us up in an Isolation area for 2 days and got into the process of doing all the test. Since his problem was also throat related, they seemed to be suspicious, though he or me had no symptoms of the virus, but since it was their protocol, it had to be followed. They were not very strict because they knew that his symptoms were not of the virus so they were little lenient on the approach. After 2 days when all the reports were clear, they shifted us back into the general treatment area.
In one way it was good all the test were done so that we all were relieved of any suspicion.
Right now he is in hospital for his Plasmapherisis treatment so we are not doing anything much for precautions as all the time we are in the hospital premises, but when he gets home, yes we will be taking some measures specially for him and some for me too.
Wearing a mask will be the important one. Though we know our city is safe, but considering his low immunity, we do not want to take a chance.
Sterilising the utensils. Just again for safety purpose.
No eating outside till the time the Coronavirus comes under control. We never know where the products are sourced from, so not to take any risk it would be best to avoid.
Avoid flight travels. This is most important as this will get us exposed to a lot of people travelling from all over and the risk is much higher.
Avoid going to crowded public places, again for the same reason. More people means a higher risk and not only for the threat of Coronavirus but for overall, since the low immunity levels, he can be prone to any infection very fast.
I am not being too fussy about it. Sometimes you may take all the precautions and still get infected with such viruses based on your health condition and ar times you can be all carefree and still nothing will happen, but for me at this point of time I know my challenges so I will like to be cautious and not invite any trouble.
I hope that globally we can be relieved of this fast with right solutions and awareness.
