It looks like the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world, including Indonesia, is still not over in the near future. Instead of decreasing, the spread of the virus was still increasing. This is certainly a warning for all families to further improve health protocols by adopting a healthy and clean lifestyle even at home.
Family cluster, the smallest social unit for COVID-19 transmission
Did you know that there is currently a family cluster? Yes, without realizing it, the productive age group with a lot of activities outside the home often forget health protocols. When they arrive at their homes, they are a source of transmission to people who live in the same house due to close contact without wearing masks and putting families at increased risk of being infected with the coronavirus.
Reporting from several official government websites, volunteers and of course COVID-19 cluster officers emphasized that the emergence of family clusters made the discipline of health protocols must be enforced. Living a healthy and clean life can be one step to protect the family at home.
One of the official government websites, Jabarprov.go.id, said that there is a need to increase public compliance as an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Uphold health protocols accompanied by the principles of a healthy and clean life at home
During spending time at home, make sure that all family members get used to a healthy and clean lifestyle so that their immune system does not decrease.
Maintain and improve diet
First of all, start by keeping your diet so you don't get sick easily. Pay attention to the intake of healthy foods that contain carbohydrates, fiber, and protein to stay balanced. Also make sure that your daily needs of vitamins (A, C and D) and minerals are always fulfilled by eating fruits such as apples, oranges, guava or papaya, including getting them from supplements or multivitamins..
Enforce COVID-19 prevention protocols
Health protocols that have been frequently conveyed in various media must not be forgotten. Healthy and clean at home starts from washing your hands frequently with running water and using soap for 20 seconds, and taking regular baths at least twice a day using antibacterial soap.
When going out, make sure to use a mask properly, don't wear or lend a mask to others and always bring a spare mask to replace the mask if it's dirty and wet. Avoid crowds and keep a minimum distance of 2 meters, always carry hand sanitizer so that it can be used at any time.
Arriving at home, immediately take off your shoes and store them in a safe place before entering the room, remove the used mask and wash your hands immediately, change clothes and take a shower, separate dirty clothes so they don't mix.
Cleaning yourself or taking a shower is important for those of you who are still doing activities outside the home. Make sure to choose a soap that can provide extra protection, for example, which contains Sanisol (Benzalkonium Chloride) and IPMP (Isopropyl methylphenol), so that the skin remains healthy and clean from germs.
Exercise routine and adequate rest
Get at least 8 hours of sleep a day. To help make it easier to sleep and apply the principles of a healthy life, do some types of exercise that can be done indoors, such as gymnastics or yoga for at least 30 minutes.
You can actually do sports outside the home such as walking, jogging, or cycling as long as it is done individually, thereby reducing the risk of contracting other people. Try to take a shower immediately to keep your body healthy and clean free from germs and even viruses when you get home.
Don't forget, always use a mask when going out of the house, pay attention to how to wear and remove the mask properly by holding the strap and not holding the face of the mask..
Avoid stress with positive activities
When you are at home continuously, of course, it will make you bored. In addition, children will also feel the same way because they have to do distance learning. For that, you can do positive activities together at home such as gardening, cooking, painting or tidying up the house together. Increase communication with children by offering what activities they want while at home.
Use gadget also must be managed wisely. We recommend that you use it during distance learning or as a medium for interaction with families who do not live at home. You can discuss with the child how long to use it gadget in a day for example for school needs or socializing with friends. Plus maybe how many additional hours of use gadget on the weekend.
Enforcing health protocols, maintaining health with a balanced nutritional intake, regular exercise and adequate sleep, and suppressing boredom, are all part of living a healthy and clean life while spending time at home. Don't forget to keep communication even through the telephone line or video call so that you can stay in the mood and share your enthusiasm with one another.
