With the businesses and communities all over the country gradually starting to reopen, people are more concerned about how they should head out to work or visit restaurants. The lockdown being eased does not mean that the health risks have been completely mitigated. So, you must follow the given safety measures to stay safe as the lockdown gets lifted.
Precautions to take while commuting
The safest option to commute as the coronavirus lockdown gets eased is to take your bike or car or walk to work. Trains and buses are like the Petri dishes for spreading the respiratory infection. Even taking a cab to reach your destination is better than relying on public transports during this time.
Safety measures for the office
Avoid elevators because maintaining your distance from others is nearly impossible in such a constricted place. If you have to take the elevators, face the wall so that you are not taking in someone’s breath. Make sure you don’t touch common surfaces like doorknobs, elevator buttons, and printers with bare hands. Use a paper towel or tissue to touch these spots.
Provisions to take while visiting restaurants
It is better not to rely on the physical menu and rather download the menu from the restaurant’s website. Avoid touching things like pepper and salt shakers with your hands because these are common surfaces that are touched by all during the course of the day. Touching the cutlery should not bring any health risks of coronavirus as the employees are expected to clean and sanitize these properly.
An important thing to keep in mind in this situation is to get yourself cleaned and sanitized on reaching your home. Throw your clothes in the wash and take a good shower before joining your family.
