3 Practices to Prevent Virus Transmission

​If you want to grab the advantage of the opened shops, parks, restaurants, and bars during the pandemic, you should still practice the necessary guidelines in protecting yourself. This way, you also protect your home and your loved ones. The coronavirus will most likely stay for a few more months, and you will have to keep on raising your defenses against it.

​1. Wash Your Hands
You probably have heard it more than a hundred times by now, through social media or television, but the best way to avoid the virus or pass it to another person is to wash your hands. You will have to do it after using the restroom, sneezing, coughing, leaving one place, or touching your face. For instance, use alcohol or sanitizer when entering the grocery store, and upon departing as well.

2. Stay Home
Even if you may not be sick, stay at home as much as you can. Exposing yourself to large crowds or visiting restaurants may pose unwanted risks, not only to yourself but to everyone surrounding you. The more you go out in public, the more the virus can stick with you, on your clothes, or hands. Putting yourself at risk also means putting millions of vulnerable people at risk, too.
Crucial safety rules include:

• Stay in your home except for vital trips such as groceries.
• Maintain social distancing by being six feet away from people when in public areas.
• Always wear a face mask in public.
• Sneeze or cough in the inside of your elbow or on a tissue. Try not to touch your face.

3. Invest in a Face Mask
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the public always wear a cloth or disposable facemask when going out of their home. They add other precautions that everyone should follow, aside from washing hands, social distancing, and staying home. A cloth face mask can help prevent the virus from spreading if you have it.

In a crisis like this is not the best time to get sick, so it is always essential to make sure your health is of tip-top shape. However, if you do get ill from the virus or other reasons, it is still vital to have life insurance with you. It does not only guarantee your family’s protection, but it is also a promising investment.
