Just a few days ago the CDC issued a report that the Coronavirus will show up on the US shorelines.

So the question is…how do you protect yourself from it?

Here’s what the World Health Organization is saying:

Most people who become infected experience mild illness and recover, but it can be more severe for others. Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:

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.

Maintain social distancing

Maintain at least 1 meter (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 or contact through you eyes, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.

It has now been reported that the Coronavirus can spread through the mouth or eyes. Air sealing eyewear like Ziena (or any alternative that seals the eyes) in use with a protective face mask could help in protecting you when around people in close space environments.

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.

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.

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 whether COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.

An amazing video testimonial of a customer wearing Ziena dry eye eyewear to help block the wind from her eyes, while on a Sunday drive. It has been years since she has been able to do this as Scleroderma has caused Sjogrens Syndrome and chronic dry eyes.

It was a little over 3 weeks ago that one doctor found Ziena eyewear – it turned out Ziena glasses would seal around her eyes better than the face shields and safety glasses that she was using.
