3 easy ways we can reduce the spread of coronavirus

Washing hands, social distancing and staying at home has helped reduce the spread of the virus. Here are some other ways:-

Masks with spikes

Many of us are wearing masks for the first time. We are not used to them. This makes us adjust the position of the masks with our hands thus increasing the chances of us getting the disease. If we have masks which have spikes this may solve that problem. We can use the spikes to adjust the mask and end up not touching the mask itself.

Separate matatu commuters

The problem of using public transport is that you meet different people every time you board a bus or matatu. This means that if one person has the virus, he/she can meet different groups of people every time they use public transport. One solution could be to separate people into groups. For example we could have three sets of matatus, one for single men, another for single women and another for couples. So if a man who uses the matatus for single men has the virus, he would not infect a woman who uses matatus for single women. Further demographic segregation can be done according to age. One group of matatus can carry those who are under 30 years of age and another for over. The point is there should be a system whereby some people will never meet to pass the virus to one another.

Temperature checks

One of the symptoms of coronavirus is high fever. This can be easily detected though a temperature check. This should be implemented at every bus station in the country. The county governments could employ youths to be stationed at places where people board busses and check every commuter if they have a high fever. Once someone is found with a high fever, an ambulance is called and that person is taken for further tests. If this happens, then many people will invest in thermometers and test themselves at home. If they have a high fever, they will not leave the house and just go on with their daily activities. They will instead go straight to hospital for treatment. This will in turn reduce the cases of coronavirus.
