Holi 2023: Tips to protect your smartphones & other gadgets while playing with colours

-

Holi is just a few days away and markets are already flooding with different bright colours of various types. While Holi celebrations were muted in the past three years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year seems to be quite different as people are more excited to celebrate Holi with their friends and family members. Holi celebrations are incomplete without bright colours, music and a lot of delicious food as people leave no chance to enjoy themselves to their fullest throughout the day. They also capture the moments by taking pictures and videos on their cameras and mobile phones. With that said, while people make sure to take care of their skin and hair, they also need to keep their smartphones and other gadgets safe and away from colours and water.

If you are also planning to head out with your smartphones to indulge in Holi celebrations, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few tips that you must follow in order to prevent your phones from getting damaged.

Tips to protect your smartphone while playing Holi

Use ziplock bags

While many are seen using plastic bags to keep their phones, watches, and other gadgets to protect them from colour and water, it is suggested to use ziplock bags instead to completely prevent your gadgets from getting drenched or damaged.

Cover the phone

To prevent colour and water from entering your phones or earpods through tiny openings, you can cover the speakers, charging ports or speakers with duct tape.

Waterproof case

If you plan to use your phone in between the celebrations, consider putting on a waterproof case on your smartphone. This will help you click pictures with dirty hands and also make or receive calls.

Keeping phones on silent

While keeping your phones inside the zipper bags, it is suggested that you keep your phone on silent to avoid the speakers from getting damaged.

Dry your phones completely

In case your phone gets drenched in water, there is a high chance that it can get damaged internally. In such a situation, you must wait till the device is completely dried before switching it on.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
