Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered corona virus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available.
Personal hygiene refers to the practices and habits that individuals adopt to maintain cleanliness and promote overall health. It involves various activities and routines aimed at keeping the body, skin, hair, and oral cavity clean and healthy. Good personal hygiene is essential for preventing the spread of diseases, maintaining a positive self-image, and contributing to overall well-being.
What You Can Do to Stop the Flu! - training.pptKamaAfandiyeva

The flu spreads through droplets from coughs and sneezes, touching contaminated surfaces, and close contact with infected individuals. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. The best way to prevent the flu is to get an annual flu vaccine, practice healthy habits like handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when sick.
Swine influenza, also known as swine flu, is a respiratory disease that can infect humans. To prepare for potential flu outbreaks, people should get an emergency supply kit to last at least two weeks, make a family emergency plan including alternative transportation and communication, and stay informed about prevention and current situations. Key prevention methods include washing hands frequently, limiting direct contact with others, disinfecting surfaces, and getting vaccinated. If sick with flu-like symptoms, people should stay home to avoid spreading illness and seek medical care if symptoms worsen or become life-threatening.
This document provides information about COVID-19, including how it spreads, symptoms, treatment, prevention, and coping with stress. It describes SARS-CoV-2 as the virus that causes COVID-19.

The document recommends monitoring your health and seeking medical care if symptoms worsen.
Importance of oral hygiene in Pandemic
Good oral hygiene prevents the spread and severity of respiratory infections such as Covid-19. So, just by keeping your teeth and mouth clean, you not only save your but others’ lives too. Poor oral hygiene is not only linked with systemic diseases/infections but badly influences their entire course. COVID-19 virus is transmitted when infected droplets are dispersed via touching, coughing, sneezing, and sometimes even breathing. Most microorganisms like COVID-19 usually enter the body through entry zones like the mouth and nose. These microbes then replicate in these areas mostly in cases of poor hygiene, and then shed and spread to the rest of the body. Our mouths and hands play an important role in the spread of infection in most pandemics. So, it’s essential that we should take extra care of our mouths and hands every day.
10 Oral hygiene tips
1. Clean your hands before and after cleaning your teeth and mouth
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before and after brushing your teeth, after sneezing, coughing, before eating, and after using the bathroom. During a pandemic, take a shower right away when you get home. Thoroughly clean your hands and body, especially the entry zones.
2. Make your oral hygiene a family affair
Every member needs to do their part to keep home healthy. Educate your children about the importance of oral hygiene because they usually neglect to brush their teeth.
According to a study published in the British Dental Journal, poor oral hygiene could increase the risk of infection, especially in those with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. The study emphasized that microbial load from the mouth could results in superinfections (additional infections) and cause complications such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and sepsis.1
Good oral hygiene will not only act as a defense wall but also prevent the virus from growing and spreading. Maintaining good oral hygiene also prevents opportunistic infections such as secondary viral, fungal, or bacterial infections. Thus, good oral health not only lessens morbidity (complications/sufferings) but mortality (death) in COVID-19/flu pandemic.
3. Practice good oral hygiene daily
Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste thrice a day (in the morning, when you reach home after your work, and at night before going to bed).
Floss your teeth at least once a day to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth.
Gently clean your tongue using a tongue brush/blade.
Avoid close contact with other family members while brushing and flossing to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets.
Gum diseases may lead to severe COVID infection. A study highlighted that COVID-19 patients with gum disease were 3.5 times more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), 4.5 times more likely to need a ventilator, and 8.8 times more likely to die when compared to
The common cold is a viral infection that affects the nose, throat, and airways. It can result in a sore throat, nasal congestion, sneezing, headache and fever. Symptoms vary depending on the virus that causes it. It is important to take steps to protect yourself and others from this illness.
The document provides information on precautions to take regarding COVID-19 at home and work. It discusses how the coronavirus spreads through droplets from coughing or sneezing. Symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. It recommends avoiding close contact with sick people, covering coughs and sneezes, frequent hand washing, and cleaning surfaces. If sick, it advises staying home and contacting a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen.
This document provides information about swine flu including its symptoms, how it spreads, safety precautions, and treatment options. Swine flu causes respiratory illness in pigs and can infect humans. Its symptoms are similar to seasonal flu. It spreads through coughing, sneezing, and touching contaminated surfaces. To prevent spreading and becoming infected, people should wash hands frequently, avoid contact with sick individuals, and avoid touching their face. There are currently no vaccines available for the virus, but antiviral drugs can help treat cases of swine flu.

The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
