8 Ways to Protect Yourself Against the Mutated COVID-19 Variants
Readjust work and school settings
If you don’t have the possibility to work from the safety of your home, experts recommend having work gatherings outdoors, where practicable. “Many infections are acquired through contact at work, so be sure to continue to socially distance at work, move meetings or other gatherings outside, when possible, or virtual,” warns Braunstein.
When it comes to school settings, the CDC suggests having school pods with fewer students and outdoor classes if the weather always allows it and wearing face masks at all times.
Readjust your worship habits
According to a survey carried out by the nonprofit journalism center CivicMeter, places of worship are among the major sources of coronavirus cases, even with protective measures in place, alongside nursing homes, indoor restaurants, bars and jails.
That’s because many people sit close to one another and much of the activities at the church involve “singing and other types of vocal participation” that can facilitate the fast spread of the virus. You may not feel as good, spiritually wise when praying at home or attending virtual services, but rest assure, you will feel better and be safer, health-wise.
