Some people on the streets have also taken advantage of the situation and are selling one non-reusable blue face mask for between Sh400 to Sh420.

Some chemists have run out of stock already due to demand.

How To Defeat Coronavirus

Here is a UNICEF write up on COVID-19 and how we can be well informed about it.

  1. Coronavirus is large in size where the cell diameter is 400 – 500 micro and for this reason, any mask prevents its entry so there is no need for pharmacists to trade in masks.

  2. The virus does not settle in the air but is grounded, so it is not transmitted by air.

  3. Coronavirus, when it falls on a metal surface, will live for 12 hours, so washing hands well with soap and water is enough.

  4. When Coronavirus falls on the fabric, it remains for 9 hours, so washing clothes or being exposed to the sun for two hours meets the purpose of killing it.

5. The virus lives on the hands for 10 minutes, so putting an alcohol sterilizer in the pocket meets the purpose of prevention.

  1. If the virus is exposed to a temperature of 26-27 °C, it will be killed as it does not live in hot regions. Also drinking hot water and exposure to the sun will do the trick. Staying away from ice cream and cold food is important.

  2. Gargling with warm and saltwater kills the tonsils’ germs and prevents them from leaking into the lungs.

  3. Adherence to these instructions fulfills the purpose of preventing viruses.

  4. Frequent Sexual intercourse reduces the chances of being infected.
