The New Normal

New norms

  • Avoid the three Cs
  • Fight against COVID-19 is far from over
  • Continue to practice protective measures
  • Continue to protect ourselves and others
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes with your flexed elbow to help prevent spread of virus
  • Wash your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub
  • Clean your hands before and after you touch your face

Avoid 3C

  • Avoid crowded places
    • Instead of waiting inside a crowded area inside clinic to see your doctor, better wait outside the clinic or open space until your turn come. The nurse who assist our doctors can call our patient in when their turn come. However, everyone need to bring a smart phone and wait outside far away.
  • Close contact setting
    • No more physical meeting so that audience can sleep during meeting and nobody will know who is paying attention and who is not paying attention
    • If he or she is your good friend, do not eat together. If your friend eat ay south wing, you should go north wing to eat.
  • Confine and enclosed spaces
    • In new norms, probably all clinic should not be enclose space with air-condition. We should remind back our old class room with all the window open and with only fan. This kind of environment is more safe then enclose spaces with air-condition.
  • Wear mask all the times and change your mask whenever you don’t felt comfortable after sneezing in your mask. Cover your coughs and sneezes with your flexed elbow to help prevent spread of virus
  • Social distancing
    • Try to limit patients during each clinic visit and space out patient appointment. Patient may not be able to follow up more frequent and phone consultation become more popular in new norms. We can only hear patient’s voice and unable to detect he/she is crying for depression.
  • Hand Hygiene
    1. Wash your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub
    2. Clean your hands before and after you touch your face
    3. Cover your coughs and sneezes with your flexed elbow to help prevent spread of virus
