How Housing Societies Can Help Fight COVID-19 Pandemic Effectively?


The Coronavirus pandemic has taken the world by storm, spreading exponentially to every nook and corner of our nation. These calls for taking necessary precautions and not panic. More than two lakh people have been infected by the deadly virus and more than over a thousand have lost their lives. Luxury apartments in Thane situated in prominent residential societies along with other schools, colleges and offices, have shut their gates so as to encourage social distancing and discourage assembling in crowds. It is only natural, after all this while, for you to stress over what is really going to happen next, and, are these precautions enough?

It is not just the responsibility of government officials and medical offices, but also of housing societies to take up strict measures and follow them. In order to help you navigate these uncertain times, here is a guide that you must follow.

Follow these rules if you are suspecting a coronavirus infection
The ones who do not have the symptoms but have been exposed to an infected person should definitely go into quarantine. However, this is different from self-isolation.

Self- isolation is for the ones who are already sick. You isolate yourself in order to ensure that you do not pass on the infection to the ones around you. It is recommended for the infected person to refrain from stepping outside the house or using any kinds of public transport. In case you need medicines, make sure you get them delivered to your home and not run unnecessary errands.
  
Rules to be followed by family members of a person infected by COVID-19

●       Interaction should be minimal. However, this is slightly difficult to follow for people living in a family. You may follow the instructions below to ease out your sufferings.
●       Assign just one family member to help the infected person if they need help.
●       Refrain from coming in contact with the used clothes of the patient. Refrain from washing these in the washing machine along with the rest of the clothes of the family.
●        Sanitize your hands before and after meeting the infected person. Make sure you change your clothes.
●       Let your condition be known to your  housing society or neighbours so that you do not have visitors during such a time.
●       To add to it, the isolation room in your house should also contain all sorts of necessary items such as hair cover, gloves, disinfectants, liquid soap, single-use towels and the likes.

In order to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, a certain code of conduct must be practised in society premises

●       Luxurious flats in Goregaon and similar societies have suggested to refrain from assembling in large groups and postpone celebrations held by your housing society.
●     Teach kids about hygiene and how important it is. In fact, come up with alternative options for your kids to play at home instead of stepping outside.
●     Residents should be made transparent about their health condition. If there is a suspected COVID-19 case in your household, make sure that they are quarantined and the neighbourhood maintains a safe distance from them.

It is important to also be kind to your neighbours. If you suspect that you may be infected with coronavirus, isolate yourself for two weeks straight and alert others in the society to avoid visiting you.

Considering the exponential growth of COVID-19 across nations, lives lost and lives saved - everything seems to come to a standstill. It is important for us to gear up, take necessary precautions, help ourselves and others to fight the deadly COVID-19.

  At the risk of reminding you of a trying time, a period of our new decade that we would much rather forget, it would be impossible to look at the design trends of 2023 without looking back at what we’ve come out of- 2 years of lockdowns and uncertainty. With the advent of  Work from Home culture  that was enforced across the globe, we found a way to fulfil our professional duties from the confines of our four walls, and nobody was exempt.
