The Fight Against COVID-19 Pandemic Is Far from Over

Overall, the news is promising. While the deadly COVID-19 pandemic has harmed countless people worldwide, there is encouraging news on the horizon. For one, countries like India have baffled scientists with what appears to be herd immunity. For the other, several promising vaccines are sure to win the fight against the disease.

• Pfizer’s Vaccine: German biotechnology company BioNTech and Pfizer developed this vaccine. It’s said to have 95% efficacy against the COVID-19 coronavirus.
• Moderna’s Vaccine:This vaccine was created by American biotech company Moderna and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Tests show it has 94% efficacy against the deadly disease.
• Oxford and AstraZeneca’s Vaccine: This ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine was developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca. While it isn’t as effective as Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccines, it’s still a good option.

Although new variants of COVID-19 are spreading, the good news is that while they may be more contagious, they’re not deadlier. What’s more, most of the vaccines are effective against them as well.

Although there’s light at the end of the tunnel, it’s critical to avoid complacency. You and your family must continue to follow safety protocols.

#1 Wear Your Masks

Just like you shouldn’t ride a car without wearing seatbelts, you shouldn’t go outside your home without wearing a mask. Numerous studies show that the virus spreads primarily through the air and that masks can significantly reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

For example, a study by the University of Mainz, Germany, noted that masks were as much as 40% effective at reducing the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Other studies have shown that the masks are even more effective.

Of course, you can still be stylish while wearing a mask. Many fashion websites have started offering stylish face masks that are safe and look good. Nowadays, you can even customize your face masks whether you’re buying for your friends, family, or your employees.

You can add your custom logo or design to these face masks. What’s more, they’re breathable, machine washable, available in multiple colours. Higher-end versions are lab tested and certified, carry dust filters, are anti droplet, and sweat absorbent. The best part is that they’re reasonably priced. You may pay as little as $3.50 per mask when you buy in bulk!

#2 Wash Your Hands

Always try to disinfect your groceries and other items from the outdoors. If your delivered packages aren’t important, leave them in the garage for 24 hours before opening them. Of course, wash your hands regularly to stay safe. When outside, carry hand sanitizer and use it when needed to disinfect your hands.

#3 Follow Physical Distancing Protocols

Even if you’re wearing the safest and most secure mask, you must follow physical distancing rules. Try to stay at least six feet or about two arm lengths away from other people who’re not from your household, whether your indoor or outdoor.

If you feel sick at any time with serious symptoms, speak to a health care professional. Ultimately, you must follow all precautions until the pandemic ends. Remember, you can stay safe and look trendy too.
