Kapanlagi.com - With the implementation of the new normal, various activities of the community will resume as usual. People are now free to engage in various activities while implementing several health protocols. However, it is advisable for people not to leave the house carelessly. There are several tips for leaving the house during the new normal that can be followed to stay safe from the corona covid-19 virus.

Tips for leaving the house during the new normal are important because we never know the conditions out there. In addition, even though the new normal is implemented, the spread of the corona covid-19 virus has not been completely stopped until now. That is why we must always be cautious and comply with the established security protocols.

For those of you who will be engaging in activities outside during the new normal, here are some tips for leaving the house during the new normal, as reported by liputan6.com.

1. Always Wear a Mask

Always wearing a mask is the first tip when going out during the new normal. Wearing a mask has become a new habit during the presence of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Masks have been proven effective in preventing the spread of the coronavirus through droplets. The mask worn on the nose will prevent the occurrence of droplets.

In addition, wearing a mask will also reduce the habit of touching our faces. By doing so, the risk of contracting the COVID-19 coronavirus will be smaller. To always be safe from the transmission of the COVID-19 coronavirus, use a mask at all times. Especially when going out and interacting with many people.

2. Maintain Cleanliness

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are advised to maintain cleanliness, one of which is by regularly washing our hands. This is not without reason, as the COVID-19 coronavirus is known to easily transfer from the surface of an object to our hands. Then, it can transfer to our face if we touch it.

Meanwhile, the coronavirus is fragile and easily destroyed when we wash our hands with soap. That's why we are advised to regularly wash our hands with soap to avoid the COVID-19 coronavirus. The habit of washing hands should also be done when going out, especially when just finished using public facilities, such as toilets.

In addition to washing hands more regularly with soap, we can also maintain the cleanliness of our hands by using hand sanitizer. Therefore, it is highly recommended to always carry this practical hand sanitizer product when going out during the new normal period.

3. Avoid Crowds

The next tip for going out during the new normal is to avoid crowds as much as possible. Maintain physical distance with anyone, anywhere. Even when working in the office, when in a vehicle, or when queuing. If you have to use public transportation, use public transportation that is not too crowded. Similarly, when queuing at shopping centers, it is better to wait until the queue is cleared.

Because as we know, the coronavirus COVID-19 is transmitted through droplets. This means that the risk of transmission will be higher when we come into contact with many people. Therefore, as much as possible, avoid crowds and maintain a safe distance from others, at least 1-2 meters.

4. Try to Stay Outdoors

During the new normal period, if you have to go out, try to stay outdoors. This means that when you are doing activities outside the house, such as walking or exercising, it is better to do them outdoors.

According to a study conducted in Japan, group activities indoors are more risky in transmitting the coronavirus COVID-19 compared to outdoor activities. Being outdoors also reduces the chances of touching COVID-19 droplets. Therefore, doing activities outdoors tends to be safer than staying indoors with other people.

5. Avoid Touching Public Facilities

The fifth and final tip for going out during the new normal is to avoid touching the surfaces of objects that are public facilities. As we know, the coronavirus can survive on the surface of an object for a certain period of time through droplets. Therefore, the threat of contracting the coronavirus still exists if we accidentally touch a surface that is contaminated with the coronavirus COVID-19.

Therefore, as much as possible, avoid touching surfaces that are commonly touched by many people, such as tables, door handles, stair railings, elevator buttons, and so on. If it is necessary to touch such surfaces, it is advisable to first spray them with disinfectant. By doing so, the coronavirus on the surface of the object will die, making it safer for you.

Those are some tips for going out during the new normal. You can follow these five tips above to feel more calm and safe while engaging in activities outside the house. Additionally, it is equally important to maintain your health by exercising and consuming nutritious food. A healthy body and strong immune system will reduce the risk of being exposed to the coronavirus COVID-19.
