4. Wear A Mouth Mask
Even before the pandemic, we’ve all seen the influx of Asians with white surgical face masks traveling about. Prior to the pandemic, you may have wondered why they did that.
They actually wore masks when they were sick or to prevent allergies due to airborne particles. According to experts, these masks prevent large droplets of bodily fluids that may contain viruses from escaping via the nose and mouth. They also protect against splashes and sprays from others, such as those from sneezes and coughs. The downside is that these masks don’t prevent the inhalation of small, airborne contaminants, but they sure are still handy to bring along just in case.
5. Take a COVID test
Though COVID restrictions have been significantly reduced, coronavirus is still spreading rapidly. Even if you’re just experiencing a minor cough or a sore throat. It’s better to be safe than sorry and get tested to ensure you aren’t spreading the virus. If your test come out positive, take precaution and stay home to protect yourself and others.
