Hey guys… I am back again, with another article, but this one is personal.
As you all know, my sister Rania is “ KINESITHERAPEUTE “ and she works in the hospital CHU of Oran and as you know during this coronavirus crisis, (you can check her instagram @rania.kine) all the medical staff must be present at the hospital because they are the first line of WARRIORS in this WAR!
Sad if you ask me… because all of us are safe in the comfort of their own houses and you see the medical staff exposing themselves to danger in order to treat and save lives.
So, how are we coping with my sister going out and working every single day and coming home, not knowing if she is contaminated or not ..
There are some things you should know and some precautions you should put in place in order to protect yourself and family when there is a medical staff member living in the same house as you.
TOTAL SEPERATION AND SELF-ISOLATION
Which is what my sister does, she moved out of the room (since she was sleeping with me in the same room) she chose a room 10m away from the rest of rooms that we have.
SPECIAL MEASURES OF HYGENE
This is an advice that I give to everyone who has a sibling or a parent that works in the medical staff…
After a long day of work or a night shift, make sure to prepare the bathroom/shower for them
Preferably steaming HOT
Prepare all their shampooing and cleaning products there
Give them a separate set of towels that should be washed with hot water after they use it
Put fresh clean pajamas for them to wear
In addition, do not forget to give them a nice BIG cup of HOT chocolate as a reward, because do not forget that they are WORRIORS and they need to feel appreciated during these hard times.
SEPARATE SET IN THE KITCHEN
Yes yes! Separate plate, cup, coffee mug, and spoons and and and… Also, make sure to clean everything with hot water and bleach (javel).
HEALTHY DELICIOUS FOOD
During these times, the only thing that is going to protect people who are exposed to this virus is our IMMUNE SYSTEM! Therefore, we are trying to cook as healthy as possible! Plenty of fruits etc…
Lastly, SHOW APPRECIATION! Not because the medical staff (family member) are exposed, means they will be contaminate the whole family, just take the precautions and necessary measures and it will turn out well inshallah.
Stay safe and stay home…
Let me know in the comments bellow if you are living in the same situation as me, and if you have a family member who is also a medical staff member, how are you coping and dealing with it?
With love
