Create a Plan
Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19, it's important to have a plan when leaving the house. The plan may vary from household to household, but the focus should be on minimizing the frequency of exposure to the virus. For instance, this may include reducing the frequency of grocery trips by using grocery delivery services or purchasing an extended supply of food and essentials at the grocery store. Another example may be establishing and adhering to virtual communication methods when contacting other people. It's also important to have a protection plan in the event of exposure. Masks can be purchased or made in order to have some form of protection against microdroplets that linger in the air. Gloves can also be purchased to have protection in case of unintentional contact with contaminated items. Irrespective of the protection used, it's crucial to avoid touching the face as this is the main entry point for the virus.
