  1. Always Wear a Face Mask

Number one, always wear a mask while stepping out of the house. To your work, to get groceries, or for a short walk. Make it a new essential like carrying your phone or wallet. If you work at a place where social-distancing is a bit of a challenge, then consider putting a shield on. It is much more efficient. Avoid touching your face or eyes and try not to adjust your mask again and again. The correct way to put a mask on is a thing that you should know.

  1. Keep Washing Your Hands

Of course, keep washing your hands with soap and clean water every hour and also keep alcohol-based hand-sanitizer handy while you are outside. Do not forget the 20-second rule, otherwise, the viruses and bacteria won’t go.

  1. Try Not To Touch Many Surfaces

Quite a tough thing to do, but try to keep your hands to yourself as much as possible. Avoid touching surfaces unnecessarily and of course, washing/ sanitizing hands is always necessary.

  1. Find a New Way to Greet

You would be meeting your colleagues and friends after days. Very naturally there will be an urge to greet them good. But, do not forget about social distancing. Try to find a new innovative way to greet each other. Maybe an elbow touch or anything that does not involve direct contact with the other person.

5. Do Not Forget to Disinfect Your Belongings

Along with wearing face shields, masks, and gloves if needed, also take notice of the belongings you are taking outside with you. There are a lot of disinfectant/ sanitizing sprays available in the market now. Keep them in reach in your house and spray generously on the things that are coming home with you. Your bag, phone, keys, and any packaged groceries. You can also use these sprays to disinfect your car steering-wheel, door-knobs, and on your desk at the office.
