Some do’s and don’ts for going out in public right now:
There is no question that if you have been infected by the novel coronavirus or have symptoms of the COVID-19 illness, you should not leave your home unless directed otherwise. But if you have no symptoms or reason to believe you’ve been exposed, you don’t have to lock yourself in your home.
Should you go to the gym or yoga class? The gym is an escape from stress and anxiety for millions of people on a daily basis. But an emerging source of anxiety is stepping foot in that very place. The gym chain has stopped using any equipment such as weights and mats in cardio classes, Sam Karshenboym, chief operating officer at 305 Fitness, said. The cleaning crew is disinfecting locker rooms, door handles and other points of contact more frequently.
It may also be safer to avoid tightly packed classes or attend the gym at off-peak hours given that the virus spreads more easily among people standing within about 6 feet of one another, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious-disease epidemiologist with the World Health Organization who studied COVID-19 for two weeks in China, found that the virus spread more readily to people living with someone who had COVID-19 than through communal spread. However, when communal spread occurs, movie theaters and public transit are prime virus-transmission venues, she told STAT News.
That said, not all workers are able to work from home and many who can’t will need to use public transportation to get to work. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which serves 8 million customers a day in the greater New York City area, said employees are disinfecting trains, subways and buses twice a day.
Even before COVID-19 began spreading, studies show an increased likelihood of getting a fungal or skin infection from tools such as nail clippers, scissors and brushes that are not discarded after being used. “The risk is food settings,” Chapman said. “If someone was sick and walked into a store and coughed on the handles of self-serve buffet utensil and you then touch your face, you could get coronavirus.” Because of that risk, it is increasingly more important to be mindful of what you touch in these settings and make sure to wash your hands before you eat.
