Ma ke ʻano he virologist meaʻai, lohe wau i nā nīnau he nui mai ka poʻe e pili ana i ka hopena o ka coronavirus ma nā hale kūʻai hale a pehea hoʻi e noho maluhia ai e kūʻai ana i ka meaʻai ma waena o ka lolo. Eia nā pane i kekahi o nā nīnau maʻamau.

ʻO nā mea āu e hoʻopā ai ma nā pā hale kūʻai, he liʻiliʻi ʻole o ka hopohopo ma mua o ka mea e hanu iā ʻoe a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe āu i komo ʻole ai i pili me kahi hale kūʻai. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe kēia o nā mea hōʻike e pili ana ka maʻi i ka hoʻoiho ʻia e ka ʻona a me nā ʻāpana ʻaʻai.

Oe i lohe paha e pili ana i nā noiʻi e hiki ke noho pōʻino i ka maʻi a hiki i 24 mau hola ma ke kāleka a he 72 mau hola ma luna o ka palaki a i ʻole ke kila kila. ʻO kēia mau haʻawina hoʻokele e mālama ʻia, kahi e pili ai i nā kiʻekiʻe o ka maʻi infectious i ka pūlima a me nā hoʻohaʻahaʻa a me nā mahana i mālama mau ʻia. I loko o kēia mau hoʻokolohua, hiki i ka nui o ka maʻi infectious ka mea e hōʻemi ai ma hope o kekahi mau hola, e hōʻike ana ke ola ʻole ka virus i kēia mau papa.

ʻO ka hopena kiʻekiʻe e pili loa ana i ka hoʻopili me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e lūlū i nā maʻi i nā puʻupuʻu e ʻā ana lākou, kamaʻilio a i ʻole ka hanu kokoke ʻana.

Aʻo hope e pili ana nā papa kiʻekiʻe, e like me ka paʻa i ka puka, kahi i hana ʻole ai kekahi i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe lima maikaʻi a lawe ʻia ka maʻi i ka honua. I kēia hiʻohiʻona, pono ʻoe e pā i kēia hāpili a laila pā aku i kou iho melemaka membranes i kou mau maka, waha a i ʻole pepeiao e kohu ai i ka maʻi.

E noʻonoʻo e pili pinepine i kahi papa maka, a laila e hoʻoholo inā hiki ke pale i nā wahi riskiest a hoʻohana i ka sanitizer lima ma hope o ka pā aku iā lākou. ʻOi nui aku hoʻopā o ka poʻe e hoʻopā i nā puka lima a me nā mīkini kāleka hōʻai like hoʻohālikelike i kahi kamato i loko o kahi ʻāpana.

ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kāu meaʻai i ka wā e hoʻi ai ʻoe i ka home, a me ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hana pēlā e hiki maoli nō i ka pōʻino.

ʻAʻole kākau ʻia nā kemika a me nā ʻeleʻele no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka meaʻai. ʻO kēia ka mea ʻaʻole maopopo mākou inā palekana a palekana paha inā hoʻopili pololei ʻia i ka meaʻai.

Eia kekahi, hiki i kekahi o kēia mau hana e hana i nā pilikia palekana i ka meaʻai. No ka laʻana, inā ua hoʻopiha ʻoe i kahi kahe me ka wai a laila hoʻokaʻawale i kāu mau mea kanu i loko, nā microorganisms pathogen i loko o kou kuhi ʻana i ʻōlelo ʻia, ua haki ʻia i ka wai mai ka moa maka a ʻoki ʻoe i ka pō ma mua o ka hoʻohaumia ʻana i kāu hua.

ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e kali e wehe i kā ka pākeke a i nā pahu inā hoʻi paha ʻoe i ka home. Ma kahi o ke kaʻawale ʻana, holoi i kou lima.

Ka holoi pinepine ʻana i kou mau lima, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wai a me ka wai a me ka holoi ʻana me kahi kāwele maʻemaʻe, ʻo ia ka pale maikaʻi maikaʻi loa no ka pale ʻana iā ʻoe mai kēia maʻi a me nā maʻi ʻē aʻe he nui paha ma luna o kahi pae a i ʻole ka pauna.

ʻAʻole kūkākūkā ʻia nā kāmela manu no ka kipa ʻana i ka hale kūʻai hale, ma ka māhele no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke kōkua i ka hoʻopuʻi i nā germs.

Inā ʻoe e kāhiko nei i nā kūmole, ʻike ʻoe i nā kāʻei pale manuahi i manaʻo ʻia no ka hoʻohana hoʻokahi a pono ʻoe e hoʻolei aku ma hope o kāu hana ʻana.

E hoʻokaʻawale i nā pale lima, e hopu i ka pāwili ma ka pulima ma ka lima hoʻokahi, i ka ʻike ʻole e kau i nā manamana lima glo i kou ʻili, a huki i ka wahī ma luna o kou lima a me nā manamana lima e hoʻohuli ana i loko o waho i ka neʻe ʻana. ʻO ka hana maikaʻi, ʻo ka holoi holoi ʻana i kou mau lima ma hope o nā hūnā. Inā loaʻa ʻole ka wai a me ka wai, hoʻohana i ka saniterer lima.

Mākou e paʻa i nā makika no ka pale aku i kekahi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke COVID-19 a ʻaʻole maopopo iā ia, no laila, ʻo ka ʻaʻe ʻana o ka mask e hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻomake i ka hoʻolaha ʻana inā he asymptomatic ʻoe.

Ke komo nei i ka mask e hiki ke hāʻawi i kekahi pae o ka pale i ka mea e paʻa ana iā ia, akā ʻaʻole ia e pale i nā pūpū āpau a ʻaʻole 100% i kūpono i ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi.

Ma hope o nā ʻōkuhi hanana mamao e mālama ai i nā wāwae 6 ma waena ou a ʻo ka mea nui he mea koʻikoʻi loa ia ma ka hale kūʻai a i ʻole kekahi wahi ʻē aʻe me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

Inā 'oi aku' o 65 a i ʻole kāu mea i hoʻololi paha i kāu kamepiula, e nānā inā he nui nā māka no ka nui o nā poʻe kiʻekiʻe loa, a e kuhi e hāʻawi i nā kiʻi ma kou home.

ʻO nā hale kūʻai he nui i hoʻopau i ka ʻae ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻeke reusable ma muli o nā kūlana kūpono i kā lākou poʻe limahana.

Inā ʻoe e hoʻohana ana i ka lelon reusable a i ʻole ʻeke palupalu, hoʻomaʻemaʻe i loko a i waho o ke ʻeke me ka wai soapy a ʻomi hoʻi. E ʻokiʻoki a holoi paha i ka ʻaka i loko a i waho me ka hopena pulu palu a hoʻohemo ʻole ʻia, a laila e ʻūlū ka ʻeke i ka makani piha. No nā pēpē lole, holoi i ka ʻeke ma ka wai mahana me ka holoi ʻana i ka lole maʻamau, a laila maloʻo ia ma ka pae mahana hiki nō iā lākou.

Pono ka poʻe āpau e ʻike i ko lākou ka nohona a noho palekana i kēia wā laha. Hoʻomaopopo e hoʻokomo i kāu mask a e mālama i kāu mamao mai nā poʻe ʻē aʻe a hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻemi i nā pilikia.
