Coronavirus protection after quarantine: 3 items, without which you can not leave the house

As states across the country continue to ease the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more Americans are leaving the safe shelter of their homes. But meeting with friends or family, visiting the office and a familiar lifestyle now looks completely different, since COVID-19 still poses a risk, writes Fox News.

The opening of the country prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to issue recommendations to reduce risks. Including, they mention several items that should be taken with you when you leave the house.

According to the federal agency, cloth face masks, hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, and wipes are three key items to bring.

CDC's recommendations for fabric facings are consistent with what the agency has been advising for months. In April, the CDC updated their guidelines by recommending that all Americans wear fabric facings while they are in public places, “especially in areas with significant public transmission of the virus.”

The agency also recommended the use of a hand sanitizer with an alcohol content of at least 60% since the outbreak of a pandemic, although thorough and proper hand washing is preferred.

Wipes will be useful because they provide some kind of protective barrier between your hands and dirty surfaces such as door handles. But one health worker said wipes are also important in preventing the spread of infectious germs when you want to sneeze or cough.

"If you have to cough or sneeze, you can do it into a tissue rather than into your hands—therefore minimizing the risk of spreading germs," ​​said Linda Morgan, health expert at MotivationNook.

“That said, be sure to throw them away immediately after use and wash your hands immediately so you don’t risk transferring germs to objects you touch,” she added.
