 Good morning. I am Dr. Prakash, nephrologist at Manipal Hospital. The contagious coronavirus has taken a toll all across sections of people, all across the world, irrespective of the status, color, caste, creed, religion or region. In fact, the developed countries have suffered the most of the lot and India is not far behind as of now. Although the curve of COVID virus was flattened by the lockdown, slowly in India also it is picking up. Coronavirus generally affects elderly people, mostly males, commonly compared to females. It is common in people who have diabetes, blood pressure, lung disease, cancer patients, obese people, people who have COPD and the kidney disease. The other point to be noted here in our dialysis patient is that the virus stays for a longer time and one should be careful about that. Regarding the transplantation, there should not be any problem especially with disease donor transplantation nor with the live transplantation. Only thing is we need to be careful regarding the immunosuppression which they are on. As they are immunosuppressed, over and above that we are on medicines which suppresses immunity one should be taking care at most. Majority of the hospitals in the country and in the state have really done a great job so far. However, more things have to be done in the coming days. Our hospital is fully equipped with state of the art emergency department, isolation, intensive care unit. We have enough number of ventilators, staff and round the clock. The sanitization of the hospital is done many number of times. Hence people should not be scared to come to the hospitals. A word of advice from our side would be that we need to continue to follow the basic measures what has been time and again emphasized by doctors and various people. That is wearing the mask. Mask is very simple and less costly and best way, best defense against the virus is what we feel. So one should definitely wear any sort of mask and make sure that the masks are worn properly. That means one need to cover the nose and the chin properly not to hang it around the chin or neck which is very very important these days. The second thing is hand washing which should be done as for the advice and or either it can be washed with soap and water or you can sanitize the hands and then maintain social distancing at by at least 2 meters. So I would further go further and then say that one should follow these three Cs. Avoiding contact, avoiding crowded places and avoiding closed areas. We now need to live with the virus and take care of ourselves to take care of others as there are no specific medications or drugs available nor there is a vaccine as of now. Thank you.
