Kwaresma or Lent season allows us to have a long holiday. Lent is a season where Christians observe fasting, abstinence, praying, and other acts of penance. Some take advantage of the long holiday to go on travel for a vacation away from home.

Fasting is actually not done only in observance of Holy Week, some do this before going for a medical check-up like a blood glucose test, others do fasting for health reasons, while following a specific diet or special products to cleanse and get rid of body toxins.

Although this act is beneficial for our health, doing this is not for everyone, especially those with health complications such as cancer, severe diabetes, and people in senior years. If you are planning to do body cleansing, you must have the willpower, must be physically active, and healthy, and find a partner like food supplements that will give your body complete vitamins and nutrients in place of the reduction of food intake.

Your Guide to a COVID-free Home

Once again, the Department of Health (DOH) categorized the Philippines as a “high risk” country for the COVID-19 virus*. As the number of cases spikes and the positivity rate increases by the day, there’s no doubt that the highly contagious Omicron variant plays a part.

In response to the current situation, the government has raised the alert level status in some parts of the country and continues its vaccination efforts. And while we can further increase our body’s protection by getting a booster shot against the coronavirus, it’s vital to remain vigilant for the sake of everyone in your household. 

But how can you make your home clean and safe from the threats of the said virus, especially the Omicron strain? Here are some tips from Clorox Philippines, one of the country’s leading providers of cleaning and disinfecting products. 

Watch out for COVID-19 symptoms. 

The general symptoms of COVID-19 and its variants differ, let alone from the common flu. It’s critical that you familiarize yourself or at least be knowledgeable of their distinct indicators so you will know the next step you should take for your family’s safety.

If a family member has symptoms of COVID-19, isolate them immediately and undergo an antigen or RT-PCR test to confirm.

Regularly clean and disinfect your home. 

While cleaning and disinfecting take a lot of time and effort, it’s never wrong to apply extra safety measures now that the threat of the Omicron strain is growing. It will also help keep your household members free from bacteria and other viruses that may cause different kinds of sickness.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cleaning alone with the assistance of a household cleaner can already eliminate most of the COVID-19 virus on your surfaces and decrease existing germs in your home. Remember that it’s always essential to disinfect if you have COVID-infected family members to prevent the spread of the virus.

 

Frequently disinfect high-touch surfaces.

High-touch surfaces are the surfaces we usually touch with our hands. Whether inside or outside our homes, these surfaces may be contaminated and exposed to different bacteria and viruses, especially the COVID-19 virus, as multiple people touch them several times a day. For that reason, disinfecting these surfaces should be a part of your daily safety protocol. 

 

At your home, always disinfect your doorknobs, doorbells, light switches, countertops, tables, everyday carry-ons, gadgets, toys, and deliveries. And when you’re outside, remember to disinfect surfaces in shared transportations, your workplace, public spaces, and even ATMs.
