Most of you are eagerly waiting for the lockdown to come to an end. A phased approach has already begun to lift lockdown restrictions in India and around the world. As the government looks to restart the economy, we all know that life won’t look the same once the cities reopen.
While you might be having plans in your mind to meet your friends, go out for shopping or just roam around the city, it would be wise to continue taking necessary precautions as normalcy won’t return once the lockdown is lifted.
As the risk of the virus is still prevalent, here are a few things one shouldn’t do immediately after the lockdown.
Don’t plan a vacation- Though there is relaxation in the rules, it is better to not plan any vacation for a few months, as it was the movement of the people across countries that had spread the virus worldwide.
Don’t stop washing hands- One positive habit that the COVID-19 inculcated in people is to punctually wash their hands. Not only does it keep the virus away, but it also keeps other diseases at bay.
Keep the masks on- It is still better to use your masks in public as “Precaution is better than cure”. It also helps you maintain respiratory hygiene while in public. So continue wearing your masks and keep practicing social distancing.
Keep away from unnecessary places- It is better to restrict yourself from going to places like gyms, cafes, and swimming pools. These places are normally enclosed and you might risk breathing the same recirculated air for a long period of time.
Follow the rules- It might feel like getting independence once the lockdown is lifted but in your happiness do not forget to follow the rules like avoiding crowded places, maintaining social distancing, greeting each other without any contact, etc.
