The Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences has disclosed ways
to combat coronavirus,
Trend reports on March 18 referring to the Academy.
“There is no vaccine or special medicine against coronavirus,”
the Academy said. “Most people recover from this virus themselves.
The individuals with coronavirus symptoms must see a doctor
immediately. However, to help prevent infection, it is important to
take prophylactic measures which are used to protect against
cold.”
“It is necessary to wash hands with soap and warm water or
alcohol based hand sanitiser, avoid close contact with infected
people,” the Academy said. “People must not touch the eyes, nose
and mouth with hands and fingers and must not often use public
transport and visit crowded places.”
“It is necessary to make purchases online or pay with plastic
cards (paper banknotes contain a lot of cellulose fiber that
transmits virus,” the academy said. “Despite Azerbaijani banks
disinfect cash, coronavirus may spread through sick people.
Therefore, it is advisable to stay away from the street
trade).”
“In most cases, infected people do not have symptoms of the
disease and they play the role of a carrier, so it is important for
everyone to follow the rules of hygiene,” the Academy said. “In
case of being infected with coronavirus, it is necessary to undergo
the same medical treatment as in case of cold to alleviate
symptoms.”
“It is necessary to have more rest, drink a lot, avoid
dehydration, take medications for sore throat and temperature (a
shower may also relieve a sore throat pain) and to use
sterilization methods regularly,” the Academy said.
