International Infection Prevention Week

It’s a Wrap!

Yes, we’d be gracefully wrapping up the International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW) with this blog. While trying to cover the basics and the significants in most of our blogs this week, it is quite possible we might have missed a few things as well.

In a nutshell, all we want is for you to stay safe and choose your options cautiously.

We really thought hard about what should our team cover today – what would be the most appropriate way to mark the end of IIPW? Any guesses?

Indeed it is the awaited and controversial India Vs. Pakistan T20 World Cup Match on 24th October 2021.

Contentious as it reflects on the regretful killings of the non-Kashmiri civilians in the Kashmir valley and arouses the ‘genuine’ anger. However, as conveyed by the BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla, it won’t be acceptable to back out from an ‘international commitment,’ hence the match would feature as planned.

Anticipated, as, needless to say – India Pakistan match has always been on the lookout by the Indians!!

Nevertheless, be it the Dubai International Cricket Stadium or any other arena, once the spectators are allowed, the place is expected to be full (rather overpopulated). Hence, abiding by some all of the infection prevention norms is a must to keep yourself safe and your enjoyment long-lasting. 

Let’s quickly consider the Do’s and Don’ts in this case.

Well, I would have started with limiting the number of ‘allowed’ audience – however,  at this point in time, it seems to be a waste of time mentioning it, as neither the organizers nor the attendees would pay any heed to it. Still, going to packed places even if fully vaccinated cannot be tagged as #safe. 

Anyway, coming to what can and should be done at the stadium by

THE STADIUM OWNERS & STAFF  

  • Detailed cleaning of the entire place, including each and every chair, the poles or bars around, sites for standing vendors, seating arrangement for the commentary team, washrooms, and frankly everything.
  • Fogging of the stadium with an effective disinfectant
  • Provisioning hand sanitizer facility through foot dispensers at an ample number of points throughout the stadium.
  • Ensuring a good number of staff is positioned across the place to help the audience with the placing arrangements and other things.
  • Providing a hygienic place and set up for the vendors.
  • Training all the employees and contractors involved on the appropriate norms and behaviors. 
  • Placing around 4-5 standees across the arena stating the requisite mannerisms and cautions to be followed while in the stadium (would be good to illustrate both through text and images).

THE AUDIENCE

  • Ensure your masks are on for the entire duration.
  • Carry a hand sanitizer along and use it frequently.
  • Try to maintain at least some distance with others (as feasible).
  • Carry along your medications, inhalers, nebulizers if you suffer from any such condition.
  • Bring along your own water bottles and also, if possible, some food of your own to nibble while cherishing the happenings of the match. 
  • Always cover your mouth while coughing or sneezing.
  • Pack tissues or little handkerchiefs in your handbag. 

Stay safe while you enjoy!

  1. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and
    interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.

    The issue is something that too few people are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

  2. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
    my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  3. Good day! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok.

    I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to
    new updates.

  4. You really make it seem so easy together with
    your presentation but I find this topic to
    be really one thing which I feel I would never understand.
    It sort of feels too complex and extremely broad for me.

    I am looking ahead for your next post, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!

  5. Hey are using WordPress for your site platform?

    I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set
    up my own. Do you need any coding knowledge to make your own blog?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  6. Hi, i think that i saw you visited my blog so i came to “return the favor”.I am trying to find things to improve my

    for a second time.

    was good. I do not know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉
    Cheers!

  9. Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a
    lot of spam feedback? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?

    I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.

  13. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!|

  14. An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact bought me dinner simply because I found it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this issue here on your blog.
