The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO has recommended the use of face masks or face coverings to control the spread of the novel coronavirus. Recent studies have proved that more than 25% of all infected individuals remain asymptomatic, i.e., they show no symptoms at all. They are the cause behind the silent spread of the disease. Moreover, even those patients who eventually do show any signs stand to affect quite a few people by not taking any sort of precautions.
Since the coronavirus is airborne according to studies conducted until now, key preventive measures must be taken to curb its outbreak. This also means that whenever people come in close contact, they are at risk of contracting the infection.
A few reports show that even breathing near someone can cause the transmission of this pandemic. This is why social distancing and isolation are crucial. Healthcare organizations around the world are suggesting that in case of any flu-like symptoms, fever, and cough, people should go for virtual medical care like Cura4U. They are providing excellent health services that are highly suitable for both doctors and patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most countries have ordered partial or complete lockdown to stop the spread of this disease. However, grocery shops and pharmacies need to stay open for sustenance. Social distancing cannot be made possible everywhere; therefore, keeping your nose and mouth covered is vital for safety. It is recommended, especially for areas that are going through the significant viral transmission.
Frontline healthcare workers like doctors and nurses need all the support they can get during coronavirus outbreak. Surgical masks and N95 are hard to come by, and most hospitals and healthcare institutions have run out of necessary critical accessories for safety, which is why the federal government and CDC are requesting citizens to stop buying masks so that they can be provided to the health workers to save precious lives. If more doctors start dying, we will be plunged into darkness because there won't be any medical support left.
To help with this situation, CDC and other healthcare organizations are suggesting that the general public can create DIY face coverings from everyday household items that will also cost less. These masks are not as effective as respiratory masks, but they are helpful while conducting necessary outdoor activities during the lockdown.
Here are a few things one should keep in mind when deciding on creating a DIY mask:
The bottom line is, the novel coronavirus is still spreading, and preventive measures are the only real support we have right now. Stay home and keep yourself, your loved ones, and your fellow citizens safe. Seek online medical help if you have any questions or health queries, booking lab tests/imaging services from the comfort of your home.

Please note that these services are not intended for any emergency medical situations. If you are having a life-threatening or serious condition that may require hospitalization, including, but not limited to, high-grade fever; low or high blood pressure; active serious infection, including, but not limited to, COVID; chest pain; shortness of breath; severe pain; or stroke-like symptoms, please call 911 immediately or go to a nearby emergency center as quickly as possible.
If you do not have a physician's order for labs or non-invasive radiology services, you may request it through our network of affiliated physicians/providers in selected states for an additional non-refundable fee, as listed (asynchronous consultation). Please note that an asynchronous consultation or physician-order service for diagnostics is not available for radiology tests requiring IV contrast. Patients needing a diagnostic study with IV contrast must complete an online visit with our physician first and, likely, will also need to have a lab test for their kidney function before a diagnostic study with IV contrast can be scheduled.
Once you request our provider or physician's order service, you will receive an email from us inquiring more details about your medical history. Based on the information you provide, one of our affiliated physicians or providers will make a determination about processing the order for the requested service. In some cases, as determined by our affiliated medical team, you may be required to provide additional clinical information or may be asked to have a more detailed online visit (an additional fee may apply) before your order can be processed. Please note that in some situations, or based on available clinical information, our team may even decide not to process the requested diagnostic order service and rather may recommend you to seek immediate medical attention in person or go to the nearest urgent care or ER. In that case, any advanced payment for the diagnostic service(s) will be refunded, but the physician's consultation or order request fee will remain non-refundable.
Please also note that any post-diagnostic service follow-up visit(s) or treatment(s) is not covered in this service fee and the ordering physician is not responsible to provide any continued care unless you sign-up for that service separately. Depending on your situation or test results, you may be advised to seek consultation with either primary care or a specialist physician (local or online) for further work-up and treatment. If you are unsure or have any questions, please call our customer support service before placing an order.
