How to Stay Safe From Coronavirus while On The Move
The Best Way to Prevent Covid-19 is to Avoid Being Exposed to This Virus. Here are Four Tips to stay Safe From Coronavirus.
The Coronavirus spreads between people who keep close contact or contact within six feet. When an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks, the virus will spread through respiratory droplets produced. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Moreover, it can be spread even without any symptoms of COVID-19 such as high fever, cough and sneeze.
1. keep social distance
- Always keep at least 6 feet or 1 meter distance with any person.
- Avoid gathering in groups.
- Stay out of crowded places.
2. wash your handS
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol when water and soap is not available around you.
- Don't touch your face, eyes, mouth with unwashed hands.
3. cover your mouth
- Wear a face mask at least a cloth mask to cover your nose and mouth when you're going into a crowded place.
- If you cough or sneeze, please cover your mouth with a tissue and then throw it away immediately.
- Cover your mouth and nose while the sick person is coughing or sneezing near you.
4. clean and disinfect

Live on Surface?
According to the study published on March 17 in the New England Journal of Medicine, Coronavirus can live on some of the surfaces you probably touch every day. Therefore, clean and disinfect work should be done every day especially during the time we come back from outside. The table below shows the lifespan of Coronavirus on a different surface. It can be noticed that Coronavirus can stay alive 7 days on the surface of a surgical mask from the table below. Thus, the mask you have worn before should be thrown, then wash your hands and disinfect your things before you enter your house.
Actually, using a waterproof bag for work or grocery shopping is the best choice for you. Though the virus may stay longer at the surface of the dry bag and if compared to cloth bag, the waterproof dry bag is much easier to be cleaned and disinfected. Just wash it outside or spray the sanitizer on it before you enter your house. Please check the video below.
