How to protect yourself against more Covid-19 waves in future: Steps to prevent coronavirus spread

The Coronavirus pandemic continues to rampage in India. While most of the world was able to recover from the effects of COVID 19, India, and a few other countries, seem to have lost their footing and are now facing more waves of COVID 19. As a result, the entire nation, which initially believed that it had managed to conquer COVID 19 now has to face it all once again. What’s worse? India reports the 2nd the greatest number of COVID cases (roughly 2.5 crores). The entire country is struggling to fight against COVID 19, especially due to the dwindling number of available vaccines and medicine.

How to protect yourself against more Covid-19 waves in future

The second wave is not the end?

The Indian government was able to contain the first wave and minimize damage to an extent. But ever since lock down restrictions eased up and were gradually lifted, the entire nation had begun to slack off and people’s fear over the virus gradually reduced. People stopped following the SMS: Social distancing, Mask and Sanitizing. Hence, the virus silently brewed and managed to come back at the citizens of India with an ever-greater force. The number of casualties is increasing and it is posing a difficulty for both central and state governments to prevent the spread of the virus with the lack of vaccines and medical facilities.

To make matters worse, scientists claim that the virus has mutated and is more resistant against the effects of the vaccine, making it difficult to keep the upcoming strains of the virus at bay. As of now no cure has been discovered for the virus and the existing vaccine only helps to reduce the health implications that the virus has on an infected person and increase their immunity. Scientists fear that more waves are coming with more potent strains of COVID, which they fear would cause even more harm to the citizens and damage to the nation as a whole.

Due to the second wave, lock down has once again been initiated. Many of our fellow citizens suffered the most during the first lock down, since they were out of jobs and didn’t have money to even buy food. The current lock down also poses the same concern for citizens. So how can we navigate through the second wave and upcoming waves of COVID? What can we do to prevent coronavirus spread?
