In 1940 this epidemiologist explained the importance of isolation in virus transmission


London, April 13, 2020, Monday

The infection of the Novel Corona virus Covid-19 has reached the corners of the globe. Isolation to explain the spread of corona virus infection is being explained on this subject 80 years ago by Dr. John Dewey, who wrote the book Accused Infectious Diseases , which is still useful to physicians and medical students. He was a specialist in epidemic epidemics such as corona. John Dewey, a physician who spoke on isolation, was one of Britain's chief medical officers for treating infectious diseases such as smallpox, typhus, and black fever during World War II. In 1930 he was a medical officer at Western Hospital, London. He did a lot of research on the smallpox virus that has plagued man for centuries.


His book covers things like how to be accommodated if a home-based nursing home suffers from a transmitted disease. Isolation ward should be away from the room of the celebrated and other members of the family. Patient caregivers should wash their hands frequently with soap and be as open as possible in clean air. This is still useful today for those forced to live in quarantine or isolation following the corona virus. The book, written in 1940 on Isolation, remains as true today. This is very strictly followed in the hospital. He wrote about the temperature that the room temperature of the infected person must be between 50 and 60 Fahrenheit, ie 12 to 15 degrees.

In addition, the rules of isolation state that the spit, clothing and utensils of the patient need to be thoroughly cleaned. It is important to dispose of the bioavailability generated during treatment very quickly. In the Isolation Room it is important to have home decor items, easy-to-clean items and furniture by removing the calendar. This epidemiologist called isolation extremely important for the treatment and control of infectious diseases
