Thank you coronavirus helpers [Google Doodle express gratitude for corona warriors]
Today’s Google Doodle honours all public health personnel and researchers fighting to combat the new coronavirus around the world.
The dedication is the first in a new Google Doodle series honouring individuals working on the front lines of the outbreak, which was launched today.
“Today, we’d like to express our gratitude to all public health professionals and scientific researchers,” Google writes.
“People are banding together to aid one another today more than ever as COVID-19 has an influence on communities all across the world.
We’ll be beginning a Doodle series in the coming weeks to celebrate and acknowledge many of those on the front lines “It expands.
Several countries, including Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom, have held public tributes in which inhabitants clap from their windows and balconies at predetermined times to honour all health care employees in their respective countries.
More than 100 doctors and nurses have died while treating patients around the world, including at least one doctor in the United States this week, who was the first emergency physician to die after demonstrating COVID-19 symptoms.
In Italy, one of the worst-affected countries in the world, at least 66 doctors have died. More than 9,000 medical professionals have been infected in Italy and Spain, while at least 13 doctors have died in China, where the virus was initially discovered.
Howard Catton, the chief executive officer of the International Council of Nurses, stated in an interview with Newsweek: “For some weeks.
We’ve been concerned about how many nurses and other health-care workers have been infected with the coronavirus. Nurses all throughout the world are working under high stress for lengthy periods of time with no breaks or days off, and it’s taking its toll.”
He continued, ” “We have no doubt that the lack of personal protective equipment contributes to the high risk of infection.
We are aware that there is a global shortage of nurses, but nurses are on the front lines, they are heroes, and they must be safeguarded if they are to continue their life-saving work.”
The COVID-19 virus was first discovered in Wuhan, China, and has now been confirmed in approximately 1.2 million people in 183 countries and regions.
According to the most recent numbers from Johns Hopkins University, over 264,000 people have recovered from the sickness, while over 69,500 have perished.
COVID-19 has claimed the lives of a number of doctors and nurses (as of April 6).

Advice from the World Health Organization on preventing the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
Advice on personal hygiene
Hands should be washed with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub on a regular basis.
Hands should be washed after coughing or sneezing, before, during, and after food preparation, before eating, after using the toilet, when hands are clearly dirty, and after handling animals or waste.
Maintain a distance of at least 1 metre (3 feet) from somebody coughing or sneezing.
Touch your hands, nose, and mouth as little as possible. Do not spit in front of others.
When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your bent elbow. Immediately discard the tissue and wash your hands.
Advice from a doctor
If you have any symptoms, avoid close contact with others.
Stay at home if you’re sick, even if you have minor symptoms like a headache or a runny nose.
To prevent the sickness from spreading to medical institutions and other people.
If you get serious symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention as soon as possible and notify your local health authorities.
Make a list of any recent contacts with individuals and travel data to give to authorities so they can track down and stop the sickness from spreading.
Keep up with COVID-19 updates from health authorities and follow their instructions.
Use of a mask and gloves
When caring for a sick person, healthy people merely need to wear a mask.
If you’re coughing or sneezing, put on a mask.
When worn in conjunction with frequent hand washing, masks are effective.
While wearing the mask, avoid touching it. If you contact the mask, wash your hands.
Learn how to put on, remove, and dispose of masks appropriately. After removing the mask, wash your hands.
Single-use masks should not be reused.
When it comes to contracting COVID-19, washing your hands regularly is more effective than wearing rubber gloves.
The COVID-19 virus can still be spread by touching your face while wearing rubber gloves.
