🦠 Stay Home, Stay Safe: What To Do If You Have Covid Symptoms! 📢
Hey everyone, a quick heads-up: the UK Health Safety Agency has issued fresh advice as Covid cases have surged recently, with new variants called Stratus and Nimbus making the rounds. So, what should you do if you’re feeling under the weather? 🤒
Here’s a rundown of the essential ‘must-dos’ if you suspect you might have Covid:
1️⃣ **Stay Home**: Don’t risk spreading it—avoid going to work or into crowded places.
2️⃣ **Wear a Mask**: Opt for a multi-layered mask to protect yourself and others.
3️⃣ **Avoid Vulnerable Folks**: Stay away from those more at risk if you can.
4️⃣ **Fresh Air Exercise**: Hit the outdoors for any exercise to steer clear of people.
5️⃣ **Hygiene Is Key**: Wash those hands regularly or use sanitiser, especially after coughing or sneezing.
6️⃣ **Cover Up**: When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose.
7️⃣ **Don’t Touch That Face**: Avoid touching your face unnecessarily.
Symptoms can range from a mild cold to more severe impacts like a hoarse voice or a “razor blade” sore throat. 🤧
🚑 Hospital admissions are up, so it’s crucial to stay vigilant and get vaccinated if you’re eligible.
The current data suggests these variants aren’t more severe than others, but precautions help us live normally while keeping the most vulnerable safe.
Let’s look out for each other and make sure we’re doing all we can to stop the spread. 🙌
