COVID-19, in its second year, is still on the loose despite vaccinations, which is why caregivers should not forget to continually care for and protect themselves while they are caring for other people. Staffing in Hayward, California, lists down ways that you as a caregiver can keep safe, especially if your patient is sick:
- Eat in separate areas or rooms.
The patient should eat or be given their meals in their room as much as possible. This also means not sharing personal items, like dishes, cups, silverware, towels, bedding, and more with the sick person as well as making sure that you wash these with soap and hot water after every use. - Wear your mask appropriately.
As much as possible, secure medical-grade masks and put one on before entering the patient’s room. Wear gloves when you have to touch any of the patient’s body fluids. Medical and non-medical staffing in California reminds you to wash your hands frequently, not touch your mouth, eyes, and nose, and disinfect surfaces often. - Know where to disinfect frequently.
Make sure that you disinfect high-touch surfaces around the house, which include light switches, tables, doorknobs, toilets, desks, sinks, faucets, handles, and electronics.
