JUNE 2020 • BLOEMFONTEIN HOMEMAKERS

By now almost five-million people around the world have been infected with the Coronavirus. Over three-hundred thousand people have died. It is a serious illness that needs to be treated as such.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, China on 31 December 2019.

Since then, the virus has spread to more than 213 countries and territories, including South Africa.

Currently, the Western Cape accounts for about 56 per cent of the overall infections leaving places like Gauteng and the Eastern Cape in a distant second and third place, jointly taking up only around 27 per cent of the infections.

Our president, Cyril Rhamaposa shared recently that “we consistently maintained that we rely on scientific, economic and empirical data when it comes to making decisions and formulating regulations around our coronavirus response.

We have a look at how this approach to making decisions has impacted us and how the Coronavirus has affected the people in South Africa.

COVID-19: THE UPDATE WWW.HOMEMAKERSONLINE.CO.ZA

STRICTEST LOCKDOWN South Africa is known to be one of the countries that have taken the most extreme measures regarding our lockdown. According to journalist Andrew Harding (BBC Africa’s correspondent), Cyril Rhampaphoza’s quick-acting and strict lockdown changed South Africa overnight and proved “stunningly effective” at breaking the upward curve of infections.

Rhamaphoza has also stated that “... the coronavirus pandemic and the measures we have taken to combat it have taken a heavy toll on our people.

It has caused huge disruption and hardship. The economic fallout from the Coronavirus pandemic is bigger and worse than anyone ever imaged.

With six weeks into one of the strictest lockdown on earth, one can’t help but wonder how bad things could get during the so-called peak of the pandemic.

Known symptoms for patients with COVID-19 have included mild to severe respiratory illness with cough, sore throat, shortness of breath or fever.

PREVENT INFECTION Masks have become a part of our lives.

We even get to live out our individuality by designing or purchasing masks that make us feel unique among the hordes of white and pale blue surgical masks.

To further prevent infections make sure you wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser with a minimum of 60 per cent alcohol.

It is important to still avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands - especially when you are wearing surgical gloves. Lastly, avoid close contact with people who are sick and stay at home when you are sick. Remember to frequently clean and disinfect touched objects and surfaces.

Need urgent assistance.

LET’S RECAP The only way to stop the virus and its economic carnage is to prevent infections. According to The National Institute for Communicable Diseases, the spread of the disease is thought to happen mainly by respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The majority of cases have occurred in people with close physical contact to cases and healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19.
