Unfortunately, the air we breathe is not as clean and safe as it should be, which can lead to us becoming ill due to air pollution and germs in the air.
While the world tries to find a “new normal” that takes life with COVID-19 into account, one should remember that this and many other airborne diseases are still constantly and every day around us. And these invisible viruses can spread even faster in enclosed spaces – such as in one’s own home – where proximity to family members and roommates is practically unavoidable.
So what do we do when the inevitable happens and someone we live with brings a contagious, airborne disease into our shared space?
Clean the air with an antiviral air filter.
In addition to source control (i.e., social distancing, hand washing, and wearing a mask), one of the first lines of defense for your home against almost anything airborne is a high-quality, durable air purifier… The key word is “quality.” And if this “almost anything airborne” is also infested with viruses, then this line of defense must absolutely be antiviral as well.
HomePure Zayn, for example, is an antiviral air purifier that thoroughly filters the air in your home, including small viral particles. It filters out 99.8% of airborne particles, allergens, viruses, bacteria, fungi, bad odors, and VOCs.
Checklist for at home.
After protecting your home with an antiviral air purifier like HomePure Zayn, there are a few other strategies you can apply when living with a sick and contagious person.
1. Antiviral air filter… in every room.
Yes, we’ve already talked about the line of defense an antiviral air purifier can provide, but did you know that every air purifier has a limit to its protective coverage? The HomePure Zayn, for example, offers an impressive coverage of 36 m², which is more than sufficient for an average-sized living room. You should place an antiviral air purifier in every room of your home, or at least in the room designated as the “sick room,” where your roommate is self-isolating.
2. Let in as much fresh air as possible.
This means you need to ensure good ventilation in your home by opening multiple doors and windows and using a fan to circulate air from inside to outside.
3. Test yourself regularly.
As part of the “new normal,” everyone should have a small supply of COVID self-test kits, as well as a reliable thermometer and oximeter at home. You and your friends or family members who are in quarantine at home should test regularly. If you have a high fever or test positive, you should see a doctor and isolate yourself along with your roommate… but in separate rooms!
4. Stay away!
It goes without saying that you should stay away from the infected person in your apartment. However, a complete separation from someone living under the same roof is not always practical. Make sure that both of you wear a mask and avoid touching each other or the same items. A special “sick room” and a special “sick toilet” help to avoid contact points and cross-contamination.
5. Wash your hands regularly and disinfect surfaces.
This is good hygiene practice, even if no illness is lurking in your home. Wash your hands with soap – especially as soon as you come home, and definitely before and after contact with the infected person – and regularly disinfect all surfaces while wearing gloves.
6. Sleep, eat, exercise, repeat.
Another always good advice is to take care of yourself and strengthen your immune system to fend off illnesses. Get plenty of rest (8-10 hours, starting before 10:00 PM), drink plenty of water (more than 2 liters per day), eat healthily (foods rich in antioxidants are the best choice), and exercise (at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week). By proactively taking care of your health, you can support your immune system and prevent getting sick.
7. Now is not the right time for a dinner party.
If you plan to host guests, please reconsider. Not only is it likely that your sick family member or friend doesn’t feel like receiving visitors, but you are also putting yourself and your guests at risk. If you absolutely must have visitors, make sure they stay in a room with your HomePure Zayn antiviral air purifier and keep the visit as short as possible. The more people stay in your apartment, the longer they stay, and the more virus particles can accumulate in your home.
Eliminate viruses in the air with the HomePure Zayn antiviral air purifier.
To prevent airborne viruses from entering your apartment, the antiviral air purifier HomePure Zayn is one of the few smart, responsible protective measures you can use in your home. You can be sure that your antiviral HomePure Zayn reduces viable virus particles in the air by 99.94 percent.
HomePure Zayn also cleans and sterilizes the air in your home with a reduction of 99.8 percent of particles in the air as small as 0.1 micrometers, including bacteria, viruses, allergens, bad odors, fungi, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
It also uses UV technology and an ultra-plasma ion filter to strengthen your defenses.
Even if someone you live with contracts an airborne contagious virus, with the antiviral HomePure Zayn air purifier working in the background, you are one step closer to serving the viruses in your home an eviction notice.
