Leone: Doctor is there any treatment which can be given immediately to corona patients? Dr. Jaya: Till now we dont have a one shot medicine for SARS Covi 2 - Covid 19 disease. So prevention is better than cure is the best medicine. So since it spreads through air from one person to other, social distancing is the best thing. Talk by maintaining social distancing, also wear face mask. Many people are thinking that wearing costly N95 masks will only give protection. But triple layer that cotton masks which has 3 layers of cloth and it shouldnt be loose which allows the entry and exit of air will give the best safety which is equal to N95 mask. Always go out after wearing the mask. If anyone at house is infected with this virus, isolate them and other family members should also wear mask at home. Mask plus social distancing other than these 2, we have to wash our hands cleanly. Because while sneezing and coughing the germs will be near them. For example if they are at kitchen, when the infected person sneezes he will spread the virus on kitchen counter top and vessels, bed, sofa around the house. Everything will be cleaned by using spray and keep it clean. So washing hands regularly, wearing mask, social distancing, if we follow all these 3, the virus will not come near us. If we ourselves go voluntarily and invite the virus in our body they will enter our body. If we follow all the rules we will surely not get infected with this virus. Another weapon which will help us to prevent ourselves from this virus is, vaccine! In India we have mainly 2 vaccines given as of now. One is Covishield which is from Oxford AstraZeneca company another vaccine is from our own Indian company Bharath Biotech and its Covaxin. Both the vaccines are really good. Infact latest reports says that our Indian vaccine is better than Covishield. Vaccines should be taken in 2 doses. From one month to six weeks gap upto 8 weeks gap can be given. Who all can take this vaccine? People above the age of 18 can take this vaccine. Even 100 year old grandma can also take this vaccine.
