COVID-19 UPDATES FOR HOME QUARANTINE
ONE of our real friends sent us this information which should be shared for all the good it may do! Covid-19 positive patients are increasingly choosing home quarantine in mild cases and one of the requirements for official sanction for home quarantine is a medical kit.
The kit comprises:
• Paracetamol
• Betadine for mouthwash and gargle
• Vitamin C and D3
• B complex
• Vapour plus capsules for steam
• Oximeter
• Oxygen cylinder for emergency only
• Arogya Setu app
• Breathing exercises
But that’s only for Covid-19 mild stages. Here are the various stages you might like to learn up:
• Covid only in nose — recovery time is half a day (steam inhaling, vitamin C, usually no fever, asymptomatic
• Covid in throat – sore throat, recovery time 1 day (hot water gargle, warm water to drink, if temperature then paracetamol, Vitamin C, B complex, if severe than also antibiotic.
• Covid in lungs – coughing and breathlessness for 4 to 5 days. Vitamin C, B complex, hot water gargle, oximeter, paracetamol, cylinder if severe, lots of liquid, deep breathing exercises
• Stage when to approach hospital — monitor the oxygen level. If it goes near 43 (normal 98-100) then you need oxygen cylinder. If available at home, then no hospital, but if advised to get admitted do so
This is also to tell you readers that the Tata Group has started good initiative, providing free doctor’s consultation online through chats. This facility is started so that you need not go out looking for doctors and hospitals but may stay safe at home in recovery mode.

Also here is an idea of the medicine taken by Covid-19 patients in isolation hospitals:
• Vitamin C-1000
• Vitamin E
• From 10 to 11 am sit in the sunshine for 15 to 20 minutes.
• An egg meal once a day
• We take rest/sleep for a minimum of 7 to 8 hours
• We drink 1.5 liters of water daily
• All meals should be warm (not cold)
• All we do in hospital is strengthen the immune system
NOTE: pH of coronavirus varies from 5.5 to 8.5. Therefore, we may eliminate the virus by consuming more alkaline foods which are above the acidity level of the virus. Such as bananas, green lemon (9.9pH), yellow lemon (8.2 pH), avocado (15.6pH), garlic (13.2 pH), mango (8.7pH), tangerine (8.5pH), pineapple (12.7pH), watercress (22.7pH), oranges (9.2 pH).
NOTE 2: How do you know that you are infected with coronavirus? Itchy throat, dry throat, dry cough, high temperature, shortness of breath, loss of smell. Adding lemon to warm water and drinking it eliminates coronavirus at the beginning before it reaches lungs. Share all this information for whatever it is worth!
