Keeping your house Virus Free

InshaAllah, here are a few tips we found online:

·         Remove clutter from around kitchen sink and keep clean

·         Disinfect counters often – especially if people coming and going outside

·         Open a window and let fresh air into your home

·         Use a humidifier or boil water – viruses are weakened by moisture

·         Let the Sun in – open blinds – UV light damages microorganisms

·         Clean everyday items –cell phone, cabinet handles, refrigerator door, grocery bags, clothes and yourself – cleanliness helps combat

·         Wear Mask and disposable gloves when leave the house  (Mask tutorial: https://www.joann.com/make-to-give-response/?icn=hpz1&ici=make-to-give-response

How to Prepare for Staying at home

Cleaning

·         Soap –  use foaming soap (antibacterial soap kills bacteria but not                 viruses)

·         Disposable gloves – (protects hands from germs and dryness)

·         Disinfectant wipes - (use bleach or isopropyl alcohol)

​

Food Necessities

·         2 week Supply of shelf-stable foods – canned goods, rice, flour, beans,             sugar.

·         Water, Coffee, Tea, Kids favorite beverages – stay hydrated

·         First Aid kit (https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-               emergencies/anatomy-of-a-first-aid-kit.html)

·         Prescription Medication - CDC recommends 90 days for all family                 members

·         Fresh vegetables and fruit

​

Work & Entertainment

·         Art supplies, crayons, hobby items, games, puzzles, gardening etc.

·         Items needed to work from home based on your particular job

·         Electronic spare parts – power cords, screws, speakers

​

If you get sick - Go to hospital if high fever or can't breath

·         Medication for fever, cough & cold (Tylenol, syrups, lozenges)

·         A thermometer to monitor fever

·         Humidifier – breaks up cough and chest congestion

·         Rehydration solutions – Pedialyte or Gatorade.  If you don’t have                  then take four cups of water and add  2 tablespoons of sugar and a                pinch of salt

​

·         Emergency bag of necessities in case you need to go to hospital – family members unlikely to be  able to accompany you.  You are likely to be alone.  Making a list of your prescription medications and putting it in your bag is a good idea because you may not be in a position to speak for yourself.
