New Variant is Spreading fast. To avoid it  You need to be more protective than before. The new variant appears to latch into our cells more efficiently. Check here. The changes suggest that the new strain is more dangerous and takes less time to infect any healthy person. So, How do you avoid this infection?

HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF?

The spreading of coronavirus is the same as it is far known. Wear Two- Three layers of masks. Avoid crowds, keep your Distance. Wash hands, Avoid Face touching.

"The First thing I say to people is that it's not a different Virus. All the things we have learned about this virus still applies" said Dr Ashish K.Jha dean of Brown University School of Public Health. It's not like this variant is somehow magically spreading through another means. Anything risky under the normal strain just becomes risker with the variant.

Yes, It's True, after months of pandemic living many of us become lax about covid safety Precautions. Many people spread time outdoors, unmasked, making Trips, Dining in Restaurants. Now what else we can do?

SHOULD I UPGRADE MY MASK?

You should wear double protected mask in order to protect yourself from the contagious viruses spreading to people around you. 

 If you don’t want to buy a new mask, a simple solution is to wear an additional mask when you find yourself in closer proximity to strangers. I wear a single mask when I walk my dog or exercise outdoors. But if I’m going to a store, taking a taxi, or getting in the subway, I double mask by using a disposable surgical mask and covering it with my cloth mask.

ANY ADDITIONAL WAYS TO REDUCE IT?

Getting the vaccine is the ultimate way to reduce risk. But until then, take a look at your activities and try reducing the time and number of exposures to other people.
For instance, if you now go to the store two or three times a week, cut back to just once a week. If you’ve been spending 30 to 45 minutes in the grocery store, cut your time down to 15 or 20 minutes. If the store is crowded, come back later. If you’re waiting in line, be mindful of staying at least six feet apart from the people ahead of you and behind you. Try delivery or curbside pickup, if that’s an option for you.

WILL THE CURRENT COVID VACCINE WORK UPON NEW STRAIN?

The current Generation of vaccines is still able to protect you against Coronavirus. Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their Covid vaccine works upon one key of mutation. Breakthrough infections are rare, and the vaccines are still highly effective at preventing serious illness in people who are immunized and get infected.

After I Get Covid, Will I be able to know that I am infected with New strain?
Probably not. If you test positive for the coronavirus, the standard PCR test can’t definitively determine if you have the variant or the original strain. While some PCR test results can signal if a person is likely to be infected with a variant, that information probably won’t be shared with patients.
