Covid-19: Three times more risk of infection from quarantine person at home, take these precautions to avoid.

June 24, 2020

Corona infection is most fatal indoors, as home quarantine corona-positive individuals are at two to three times higher risk of infection from relatives.

Full vigilance is also necessary for patients with no symptoms. This study by Chinese and American researchers has proved to be important in preventing new cases of infection from growing.

Researchers investigated the spread of infection among 350 Kovid patients and about 2,000 of their closest people in Guangzhou, China. It found that the rate of contamination of outsiders from a corona positive was a mere 2.4 per cent, while the risk of those living at home increased almost seven times to 17.1 per cent. Researchers also found that the infection occurred most at home from the positive patient to the elderly.

While children under 20 are the youngest. Older people with diabetes, heart disease or other diseases are at the highest risk of disease or death. According to researcher Qin Long Jing of the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control, the countries that initially decided to isolate suspected patients were successful in controlling the infection. In an article published in a professor at the Yale School of Public Health, Virginia Pitzer stated that in the early stages, the corona spread rapidly and the delay in recognition is at the peak of the world transition.

Two-three times more spread than SARS or Mars-

Researchers found that the risk of infection from a patient to a family member was twice that of SARS virus and up to three times that of Mars.

More vigilance than those without symptoms is necessary-

If a Kovid-19 patient does not have symptoms, then the risk of infection to the family or co-worker is 39% higher than the patient with symptoms. That is, the virus easily catches even those people who are not aware that they are living with the infected in the early stages.
