While the emergency phase is over, COVID-19 still exists, and localized outbreaks and variants continue to emerge. And with this, it still emphasizes the need to minimize the spread of germs and microbes.
The world continues which means the threat is unavoidable: work, school, trips, or even just simple groceries. And while the likelihood of catching the virus outside is very possible, bringing them and some other bacteria into your home can still be manageable. Here are five expert-backed steps to follow every time you walk in your door.
1. Sanitize your hands. Your hands come into contact with various surfaces throughout the day, harboring bacteria and viruses. Sanitize your hands before touching that door knob.
2. Remove shoes. They can carry dirt, chemicals, and microbes so leave them at the entrance or use a shoe rack.
3. Put your haul on the floor, and hang up your bag and keys. Don’t put your groceries on the counter unless you plan to disinfect thoroughly immediately after. The same goes for the just-delivered packages you might normally put on the kitchen table.
4. Wash your hands. You can already reach the kitchen by now. So wash with water for at least 20 seconds.
5. Take off your clothes. No matter where you ventured to, your clothes are potential germ-carriers so put on new and clean ones.
6. Sanitize Your Phone and Keys. They often touch various unclean surfaces and are rarely disinfected. Use disinfectant wipes or a UV sanitizer for your phone, keys, and wallet.
7. Wipe Down High-Touch Surfaces. Surfaces like door handles, light switches, and counters can easily accumulate bacteria.
8. Ventilate Your Home. Fresh air helps dilute indoor pollutants and airborne microbes. Open windows or use air purifiers to keep the air circulating and fresh.
