Coronavirus Data - COVID-19 In The Caribbean

Coronavirus - COVID-19 In the Caribbean and the americas

March 25th, 2020, Posted by travelwith2ofus

We believe that the Coronavirus will change the Caribbean, the Americas and the world forever. We have a battle on our hands.

We believe as responsible individuals that we should follow all guidelines given by the relevant authorities and do what we must to keep Covid-19 from spreading. We have to work together and keep our Caribbean family members safe.

We thought long and hard about ways we could help in this situation. We've decided that the best way to use our platform is by sharing the information from the relevant recognized authorities so that our people in the Caribbean can keep informed.

Covid-19 is definitely in the Caribbean. While it has not been widespread, as yet, we believe that we must do all that we are instructed to stay safe and help curtail its spread.

If you're living in the Caribbean or in the Americas and you're interested in Covid-19 data, this may be of interest to you.

Remember social distancing helps. Let's get through this together.

WHO's (World health organisation) Basic protective measures against covid-19

Wash your hands frequently
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.

Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.

Maintain social distancing
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.

Practice respiratory hygiene
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.

Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
