Inkulumo yangempela: Nangaphambi kokuba i-COVID-19 ithuthukise izimpilo zethu, izingane zethu zachitha isikhathi esiningi sasehlobo zigijima zingafake zicathulo. Kodwa manje njengoba sikhawulela uhambo lwethu oluya enkundleni yokudlala, isitolo segrosa nephuli, kahle-hle, ngokweqiniso asazi nokuthi izicathulo zabo zikuphi. (Mhlawumbe egumbini elingaphansi? Noma ngaphansi kombhede?)
Sisanda kuthola ukuthi ukuhamba ungafake zicathulo ezindaweni eziqinile isikhathi esengeziwe kubi kithina ngoba kuvumela unyawo ukuba lugoqeke (okungaholela ezinkingeni ezifana namabhanoni namasando). Kodwa ingabe imithetho efanayo iyasebenza nakubantu abancane? Sithathe uDkt. Miguel Cunha kusuka I-Gotham Footcare ukuze uchwepheshe wakhe athathe.
Kulungile yini ukuthi izingane zami zigijime zingafake zicathulo usuku lonke?
Ngenhlanhla, yebo. Ngincoma ukuthi izingane zihambe zingenazicathulo ekhaya ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezinokhaphethi njengoba ukwenza kanjalo kungasiza ekukhuthazeni ukujikeleza nokuthuthukiswa kwemisipha enempilo namathambo ezinyawo zengane, kusho uDkt. Cunha. Ukuhamba ungafake zicathulo nakho kungasiza ekuthuthukiseni ukuzwela, ibhalansi, amandla kanye nokuxhumana jikelele.
Ngiyitholile. Futhi kuthiwani ngokuvumela izingane zami ukuthi zihambe zingafake zicathulo ngaphandle?
Futhi, izindaba lapha zinhle (neziqondiso ezimbalwa). Izingane zingahamba zingafake zicathulo ngaphandle ngokuqapha, kusho uDkt. Cunha. Ngincoma ukugqoka izicathulo ezinsukwini ezishisayo nelanga, lapho i-asphalt noma isihlabathi singabangela ukushisa okukhulu ezinyaweni noma ezindaweni ezingaphephile lapho ingilazi ephukile ingase ibe khona. Uma uvumela izingane zigijime zingafake zicathulo, ungakhohlwa ukubeka i-sunscreen ezinyaweni zengane yakho ukuze usize ukuvimbela ukushiswa yilanga. (Psst: Nazi izikhilimu zokuvikela ilanga ezinhle eziyisikhombisa zezingane ). Futhi uma uya endaweni yomphakathi njengendawo yokubhukuda, izingane kanye nabantu abadala kufanele bagweme ukuhamba bengafake zicathulo ukuze bagweme ukungenwa izifo zokukhunta, amagciwane, noma amagciwane njengezinsumpa. Futhi okuthakazelisayo, iseluleko esifanayo siyasebenza otshanini obumanzi-ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ushibilikisela ingane yakho izicathulo ngaphambi kokumisa isifafazi ngemuva kwendlu, Kulungile?
