Health tips: What I always do to protect My Family to Avoid being infected in Covid?

As a Youth in our house, It is my responsibility to take care of my grandparents since Covid-19 targeted our country and many headlines of News around the world says that there are some many victims of this virus already, I started being alert in this kind of situation.

My Aunt and her family before also stay here in our house where I am living with my Grandparents because they wanted to stay away from virus in their Barangay because there are some victims already however, our life here is not easy due to lack of money to buy food and things for everyday needs because small amount of foods are not enough for us to full our tummies because we are have 3 families in 3 houses so we need to help each other. Another thing why it is not easy to buy some food is because we don’t have some vehicle to use because it is prohibited before so we needed someone to sacrifice to go to the market, walking even if it is far away to our house and that is my Aunt because she is just the only person who can budget our money and she know what are the things that we needs.

Our life become miserable esp. some of my younger cousins can’t even go out to the house and they are just playing inside. While us, as an adult is struggling always to problem this hard situation. But, even if it is hard everyday, we learned from different ways during this pandemic like:

• Having a Family bonding because we notice that we lack of conversation already; We couldn’t talk properly in the house and some parents that are lack of time in their children too nakakabawi na because of that.

• Appreciating the house and of course, we became plantitas too because of some trending planting some different plants in the garden.

• We learned how to manage each schedules in the houses and there is no fight if who are the next to wash the dishes, who will fitch some water, like that.

• We learned to spend our money wisely not just us who realize this kind of lesson but also you, you, and you. Everyone learned their lesson to spend money wisely so that we have money to use in the future and in this kind of situation. We did not know if in the next years, we will fight again an another disease like this yet we can’t afford again some foods and things that we needed and if you wanted to save some money,

  1. Buy the things that you just needed don’t buy things that it is not really needs like buying accessories, bags, and new things that you can’t use during this situation.

  2. Always set aside the money changed and save ir in your coin back.

That are just one of the example that we learned during this kind of situation.

After our Place become covid-free, my Aunt and family go back to their house and My Sister go live again with her boyfriend so I am just the only one who can be with, with my grandparents. It’s my responsibility to make our family protected from this virus since my Grandparents is old, they are easy to forgot things. So I always:

Remind them to wear their Face mask and Face shield

I always remind my Grandparents because they always forgot to wear it esp. my Grandpa so to avoid it, I put some 3 boxes in different areas in the house. 1 box in the kitchen table, 1 box in the Living room inside of the house, and 1 box in the living room outside beside our gate. So that, they will just grab there when they needed and when I was not around, I don’t need to remind them to grab one since it is just beside of the gate because they are always go out there.

I Give them one each of keychain spray Bottle dispenser of Alcohol

It is also one of the most important for us to protect our self from this virus is to always spray alcohol and or sanitizer in our hands. Because we always holding some things that we are not sure if it is cleaned or not esp. they always hold money to buy foods for everyday.

I also remind them to spray their hands before they go and after they go home. But before spraying that when they just go home, I also want them to wash their hands using SAFE GUARD SOAP because I wanted to make sure that their hands are clean.

Not just always their hands where sprayed with alcohol but also I teach them a proper basic needs before using face mask.

1. Wash their teeth using mouth wash and or Brush their teeth using toothpaste and;

2. Spray a little amount of alcohol their Face mask before they wear it. So that they can smell the alcohol and not some air of pollution.

Of course, we cannot protect our self if we can just do that right? We should also learn how to clean our house. So like I said, It’s my responsibility to make my Grandparents protect to this kind of virus not just by reminding them to do those things but It is also my responsibility to clean the house. In cleaning, I do this things:

• The first thing that I always do is to clean the Kitchen because that is the most dirtiest part of the house. It is not easy to clean it since they always in and out with their sleeper (and I am very angry because I have this kasambahay na di marunong umintindi na bawal ipasok ang tsinelas jusko. It’s not my grandparents btw.) so the floor is always dirty because of the soil.

  1. After washing the plates and things that we used in eating,

  2. I clean the sink using laundry brush and laundry soap

  3. After I cleaned it with that, I rinse it with water and I fill water the basin and add a Zonrox bleach to get rid the germs and I rinse it again with water.

The second that I clean is the kitchen table and chairs I just repeat the process of how I clean the kitchen sink to our table and chairs and every Floor of the house in kitchen, living rooms, our bedrooms, but I used small towel in table and chairs and for the floor, I used mop. In the last process I mop the floor with Downy antibac yung blue na safeguard para mabango bango naman ang sulok ng bahay.

But! Before I do the mopping in the floor, syempre winalisan ko muna lahat para matanggal alikabok at naglinis din ako ng kalat. I did not use floorwax since it is not needed in this kind of situation.

Because my Grandparents is always going in and out in the house since my Grandpa is working in our rice field and my Grandma is responsible to her Father in the other house because he is already very old. It is really needed to clean the floor of the house esp. when there are some guests too. And last, I disinfect everywhere esp. inside using Lysol Disinfectant.

Like I said, I always put boxes of Face mask everywhere so It is also important in our house to have a Alcohol dispenser beside the Gate for the Guest before they will enter the house and doormat in door places: door in the Kitchen, to living room, to our rooms, and to the living room outside in front of the gate

To protect our Family , it is also important to do a social distancing in eating, in watching Tv like that. We are still following the rules because we couldn’t want to get sick since some of us are always going out. We did not know if who are the people that we interact with goes and so on.

It is very important for us to protect ourself in the outside and inside of the house.

So that is just the basic things that i always do to protect our Family from this Covid-19 and as of now, we did not have a family member who infected with this. How about yours?

Thank you reading! ❤️
