A lot of us have already heard about the coronavirus spread, it explains the whole pandemic that we are in right now! A lot of us have also heard of how to keep safe during this pandemic, in this article, I will show you how to keep safe at home and when you go out to get groceries, it’s always important just to be sure, we still have to get food and go to the grocery store, but we don’t know how sick other people in the store might be, which is why we should definitely take the following precautions.
First off, before any family member goes to the store, it's important to ALWAYS wear a mask and a pair of gloves, it really doesn't matter how people look at you as long as you don't get sick, think about it, there are hundreds of people a day going to the grocery store, touching all of the handles and all of the doors, why would you want to touch that with your bare hands?! Yes, the virus isn’t Airborne but it can be transmitted by touch, what if somebody who just coughed in their hands touches the door handle? As long as you have gloves and before and after you put them on to sanitize yourself, you will best avoid it.
Second of all, it’s always important to be distant from people! This is why they call it “social distancing” so if somebody coughs you are far away from them, want to know why you have to wear a mask? Because a cough or a sneeze can stay or revolve in the air for 10 mins! And can travel to over 6 meters. Disgusting! As long as you are constantly sanitizing yourself and covering yourself (mouth, hands etc.) you are less likely to get the virus. So, let’s say you have returned home from the store, if you don’t want your family to get sick, then it's very important to spray yourself down as much as possible, before you enter your house or even get near your family, make sure that when you take off your gloves, you put on hand sanitizer, and if you ARE already in the house to WASH YOUR HANDS, before you eat, wash your hands, before you go back on your phone, wash your hands, in fact, sanitize your phone, get rubbing alcohol and a wipe, and clean-down your phone, did you know that your phone can be dirtier than a public bathroom? Yeah, it's pretty gross, this is because everybody takes their phones everywhere, and where are germs? Everywhere.
SO, always wash your hands, wear a mask, wear gloves, stay away 6 feet or more, and get out of the store as fast as possible to avoid any personal contact. These were my most important suggestions, please stay safe, and stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
