Attention Residents of our apartment

General

As you know, Novel Corona virus - Covid-19 has landed in India from other countries and it is about to take next phase which is communal spreading. This is spreading across the virus all over the society without realising or knowing that he/she has been infected. It can go wild to the society like Italy where death toll is around 3405 & increasing (as on 20^th March) comparatively less in population while comparing with China where death toll is around 3248  & declining.

We can eliminate drastically by following strict personal hygiene & discipline rather anything else

Statistics shows that elders of age group 50+ need more attention. Others are safer but let us not take a chance to risk ours health to an unknown exposure. It is expected to spread 70% of the World population but we can restrict in India, Tamilnadu and our community with our own effort.

We have loved ones in each of our family or in this community and we have to take bare minimum responsibility towards our society, work environment to keep our community safe, hence we must adhere it desperately. No outsiders or no enforcements can bring 100% solution , only we must do it.

Though our apartment is thin populated, we are largely exposed to communal spreading as everyone of the household/visitors/delivery agents/housekeeping maids is commuting to various parts of country/state/city/village. We can eliminate 100% by adherence of goodwill rules & whole hearted cooperation with positive thinking & mindset

Here are the points to not to panic but create awareness

 Indian food are cooked well and no risk. Take all kind of vegetables, have sufficient stock which can be stored for a while as we do not know what restriction will be enforced by government

·        All whatsapp medicines are not proven. Hence intake at your own risk one by one in different days with sufficient break to increase the body immunity naturally

·        Have personnel hygiene at NO 1 in place. Wear full covered dresses. Keep your shoes, slippers outside flat. Your dresses, body may have viruses and never sit, touch anything. Go to wash room, store dress in bathrooms in a bag till you wash and wash your face, hands, legs thoroughly.

·        Have 1 metre(3-4 foot) of safe distance while interaction, keep your guest, family members safe by protecting yourself with handkerchief, tissue, elbow while coughing, sneezing

·        If you are not frequent traveller, your risk is 50% reduced. If you are traveller, ensure you don’t have symptoms of cough, cold, fever of any kind and follow personnel hygiene
