People mostly staying home are still getting Covid-19 — here's the problem and what to do about it. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Most of us have heard that we need to be at least six feet from other people when out in public. "That's not a magic number," but it's believed to be the distance necessary to prevent respiratory droplets from reaching you if someone sneezes or coughs, Morse says.
Try to avoid looking at people face-to-face when you're outside in crowded places, Morse says. "It sounds strange," but it keeps you out of people's line of breath, he adds. You can also try to stagger how you're walking so that you're side-by-side with others, rather than directly behind someone.Hand hygiene is still incredibly important, because it's easy to accidentally touch your face and infect yourself.
If you do go to the store, stay at least six feet from other people and wear a cloth face covering or mask, the CDC says. Some stores have delineated a "safe distance" on the floor in checkout lines, and wipes available for patrons to disinfect shopping carts. But even still, you should not touch your eyes, nose or mouth throughout the duration of your trip.
Put the items on a surface that you can clean easily afterwards, and of course wash your hands, Morse says. "There's only so much you can do, you know, within reason," he says.Riding the elevator with someone is a comparatively short time to be exposed to their germs, but you should still be mindful. "Minimize the number of people in an elevator," Morse says.
