Who would have thought sanitisers would come to&nbsp;play such an important role in our lives? Today, hand&nbsp;sanitisers have become extremely crucial to prevent the transmission of the deadly coronavirus.&nbsp;
Recently, World Health Organisation (WHO) shared some useful tips and facts to keep in mind while using an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. Take a look.
It is safe to use alcohol-based sanitisers as only a small amount of alcohol is absorbed into the skin. Most of them contain emollients that have a soothing effect on the skin.
One can use hand sanitisers frequently, but WHO recommends cleaning your hands with soap and water whenever possible. Sanitiser&nbsp;can be used in addition to this or when washing isn't an option.
Touching a communal bottle of hand sanitiser will not infect you. Once you have sanitised your hands, you have disinfected them from any germs that may have been on the bottle. If everyone uses sanitiser in a public place, the risk of germs on communal items will be lower and will keep everyone safe.
Wearing gloves could risk the transfer of germs from one surface to another. You may also end up contaminating your hands while removing them. If you are wearing gloves, make sure to sanitise your hands after their removal.
How to use hand sanitiser correctly?
Apply a palmful of sanitiser to cover all surfaces of the hands. Rub your hands together until they are dry, the entire procedure should last for 20-30 seconds.

Trends in Maharashtra and Delhi indicate that the two cities may be slowly turning the corner with a decline in Covid cases, rural areas and smaller states are still vulnerable to the second Covid wave. A new recommendation by the Centre now advocates a longer gap between two doses of the Covishield vaccine from 12-16 weeks.
On today's episode of Ask The Doctor, we take your questions to Dr. J.A Jayalal, National President, Indian Medical Association; Dr. Rakesh K Mishra, Advisor, Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) against Covid; Dr. Atul Mittal, Director and Head, ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Fortis Memorial and Research Institute Gurugram; and Prof. Jeevan Mitra, Professor and Head of the Department of Medicine, RIMS, Ranchi

The second wave of <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">Covid-19</a> has hit the younger people harder. Doctors and experts say 'Happy Hypoxia' is playing a crucial role in deaths of so many young people.
<h2>So, what is Happy Hypoxia?</h2>
Fall in oxygen saturation in blood is called Hypoxia, which is common in Covid-19. Usually, it results in breathlessness and drowsiness. But in some youngsters, due to better tolerance levels, these symptoms do not arise, and patients do not even realize that their <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/ask-the-doctor-how-to-use-oxygen-concentrator-outside-hospitals-1620743134420" target="_blank">oxygen level</a> is going low. They continue their normal activities without any intervention. Suddenly the oxygen level goes down, and the patient becomes unstable. This condition is known as "Happy Hypoxia" or silent hypoxia in which blood oxygen saturation goes down but there are no symptoms to alert the patient. it results in the progression of Covid, thereby causing even deaths.

How to read your Covid-19 test report</a> Happy hypoxia victims many times do not feel breathless even when the Oxygen levels drop to around 80. There are no symptoms, but their condition deteriorates fast, and they report to hospital late. Happy hypoxia doesn't allow progression of Covid to come to the fore until much later by when it turns into a complicated case. Therefore, doctors advise everyone, especially youngsters, to frequently check their Oxygen levels and take medical advice if they see a drop even when they don't feel any breathlessness.

It has been over a year and the entire country continues to battle the novel coronavirus. The second wave has put more lives in danger especially of those suffering from diabetes, hypertension, heart conditions and other comorbidities.
If you have high blood pressure, the most important step you can take is to manage it efficiently as you fall into the high-risk category and may encounter serious complications with COVID-19. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with High BP should consider these precautions.
Medication
Take medication as prescribed by a certified medical practitioner. Avoid skipping the medication or self-medicating and&nbsp;do not adopt any home remedies without your doctor's approval.
Choose heart-healthy foods
Consider the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish and low-fat dairy foods.
Decrease salt intake
Aim to limit sodium consumption to less than 2,300 mg a day or less. However, a lower sodium intake of 1,500 mg a day or less is ideal for most adults.
Stay active
Losing even a little weight can reduce your blood pressure, so try and exercise regularly for 30 minutes or go for brisk walks.
Manage stress
Stress can cause short-term spikes in blood pressure and taking steps to reduce it can improve your heart health. Try managing your stress and anxiety&nbsp;in healthy ways, such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga and getting&nbsp;a sound&nbsp;sleep.&nbsp;
Lastly, to keep COVID-19 at bay, High BP patients should disinfect frequently touched surfaces like BP monitoring machines, doorknobs, wallets, keys, remotes and door handles and must follow all&nbsp;Covid-19 norms.

A latest research conducted by the University of Birmingham, found that daily oral health care could aid in the reduction of disease severity in those battling the&nbsp;COVID-19 infection. The researchers noted that the coronavirus could pass into people's lungs from the saliva, if individuals are suffering from gum disease.
For the study, investigators created a model using CT scans of lungs from patients who had confirmed COVID-19 infection.&nbsp;
The study published in the Journal of Oral Medicine and Dental Research, shows that there is emerging evidence that some mouthwashes are highly effective at inactivating the Covid-19 virus.
Experts recommended that the public should take simple measures to maintain their oral hygiene such as careful tooth brushing to reduce plaque build-up and use of mouthwashes or even saltwater rinsing to reduce gingival inflammation. These simple steps could help decrease the viral concentration in the saliva.
Apart from these, here are some important tips suggested by Dentists so that people do not get re-infected.
A person who has recently recovered from Covid-19 should change their toothbrush and tongue cleaner after 20 days of getting the first symptoms. This not only protects the person from chances of re-infection but can also save others who use the same washroom in the house. Covid-19 patients are advised to dry and disinfect their toothbrush and tongue cleaner.
One should also use mouthwash and do gargles using&nbsp;betadine&nbsp;as it helps in reducing the build-up of virus and bacteria in the mouth.
If someone in the family has contracted Covid-19, it is also important not to keep toiletry items (toothbrush, tongue cleaner, etc) of the household together as it increases the chances of transmission.

As India reels under the deadly second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the double mutant strain classified as a 'variant of concern' in India - B.1.617, a new triple mutant variant, which is being called the Bengal variant and variant in South India - B.1.6.29 - have resulted in fresh panic. Is the rise in cases linked to the variants? Can the new variants escape detection in and RT-PCR test?
On today's episode of Ask The Doctor, Vikram Chandra talks to Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Virologist, Professor, CMC Vellore &amp; Former Chair, ICMR Panel on Covid Drugs; Dr. Rama Srivastava, President IMA, Lucknow; &amp; Dr. Shruti Tandan Pardasani, Critical Care Specialist, Jaslok Hospital Mumbai.

Social distancing and masking are not the only two things you need to fully protect yourself and your family from Covid-19, adding an insurance policy is of equal importance to financially insulate you from the soaring medical expenses.
Even though your regular insurance may over hospitalisation charge an additional policy may be required to ensure your home care costs are also covered.&nbsp;
Here are the ways in which you can claim a reimbursement for your home-care treatment?
<ul>
<li>Insurance regulator has rolled policy for home care expenses.&nbsp;Corona Kavach Policy (individual and family floater), most insurance companies are now offering it as a top up to your existing or even a fresh insurance investment.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Corona Kavach policy offers coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh. If you have a&nbsp;Corona Kavach&nbsp;policy you can get your bills reimbursed even if you are treated at home.One can buy it for a period of 3.5 months, 6.5 months or 9.5 months and can renew it.&nbsp;</li>
<li>However, while 30 companies offer Corona Kavach policy&nbsp;they do not offer the policy for senior citizens aged above 65.</li>
<li>What Corona Kavach will pay for: Cost tests, doctor consultations, medical bills upto 14 days, active treatment provided by a hospital at home&nbsp;</li>
<li>Be mindful for claims: Doctor&rsquo;s prescription and recommendation of home care is a must, all medical expenses must be backed by proper bills with GST, will not support claims of unauthorised treatment plans.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Even as you explore the Corona Kavach option, one should look over their existing healthplan and speak to the insurer as many are offering an extension in the same to cover most covid costs.&nbsp;
