Coronavirus has been a hot topic for the past few months. It is basically a deadly disease that spreads from person to person through respiratory droplets. It started in Wuhan, China and since then it has rapidly spread and has killed a large number of people around the globe. However, one can still be saved from it by following some precautionary measures like wearing surgical masks, gloves, surgical gowns, etc. 

Surgical Gowns

Surgical masks are loose-fitted face masks that are disposable. These can be used as a preventive measure for Corona by covering the nose, mouth, and chin. They protect the wearer from sprays, splashes, and large-particle droplets and prevent the spread of potentially infectious respiratory secretions from the wearer to other individuals. It is still believed by some Healthcare professionals that surgical masks do not prevent from Coronavirus because not only it filter out smaller aerosol particles, but air leakage also occurs through the sides of the mask as you inhale. N95 respirators stay best in this regard.  Even though it does allow us to prevent ourselves completely from the virus yet it allows you to help trap infectious respiratory secretions and This can be helpful in protecting the individual of your surroundings from getting infected.

Safety Gowns

These masks are disposable and replaceable do not wear them after they are damaged. Always wash your hands before wearing the face mask and after taking it off. Meanwhile, also clean your hands if you touched your mask while wearing it. Always throw your used mask in a closed garbage bag in order to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. 

One should wear the Safety gown, and gloves correctly. Not wearing it correctly might end up making you Corona positive as it would generate a false sense of satisfaction and you may do or touch everything believing you have taken prevention. However, social distancing and washing hands frequently still top the list of preventative measures.
