Very soon all residents, including those at the border, will have to take the antibody test . This will be free and available to everyone from 2 years of age. The Government has activated an online platform where you can register: https://coronavirus.govern.ad
It basically consists of being able to detect the degree of immunity that each individual has with respect to Covid-19 . That is, whether they have already been infected or not. This test is carried out using a blood test , by pricking each person’s finger , which gives a result in 10 or 15 minutes.
Antibodies , also known as immunoglobulins or more colloquially as defences , are used by our body, specifically the immune system , to identify and subsequently neutralise viruses or bacteria . It is therefore not surprising that they have seen that this test is suitable to be able to evaluate and guarantee the de-confinement protocols , since in many diagnoses, the detection of antibodies as a test to confirm a disease is more than routine.
In addition to this, there is much talk about the physical and emotional consequences of confinement . Although here in Andorra , for example, we can at least go out for an hour a day, there are still many cities where it is not allowed, such as in Spain, even though this coming Monday they will be able to start, since it is still a physical and emotional necessity , especially for the little ones.
Social isolation , especially for those who live alone, can cause anxiety disorders, sadness, insomnia and obesity . It is true that we have not reached any state of emergency or any curfew and this allows us to go shopping or go to work (some sectors), this in some cases releases a little the feeling of confinement , since people who live alone, as above all, can be older people, the only time of the day when they can socialize is when they go out.
Then there is another case, which causes many moments of stress , such as all families who have small children , and have to live with their children at home, locked up and on top of that they have to work from home . Surely this situation generates friction and fights .
Almost all of us are going through moments of stress and anxiety , therefore it is very important to apply routines that keep us in relative control and a feeling of normality , and in the case of the little ones, include physical and leisure activities in this routine.
Here are some positive guidelines:
- Set the alarm clock.
- Avoid staying in pajamas all day.
- Separate the rooms in the home, especially those who have to work remotely.
- Do sports and relaxation activities.
- Do not peck.
- Keeping in touch with family and friends through digital applications.
