If there’s something many of us miss about the pre-pandemic life, it’s definitely the possibility to go out and enjoy a few drinks with our friends. Although you may be able to go to a bar or restaurant safely, Mayo Clinic still recommends avoiding too much alcohol. American adults have sharply increased their consumption of alcohol by 19% during the coronavirus pandemic.
Why? Well, one of the first things affected by alcohol intake is our attention; that one extra drink might make us accidentally touch infected surfaces, touching our face or not respecting the recommended social distance of 6 feet.
All of these things can lead to a COVID-19 infection that can harm us or our loved ones – and it’s just not worth it.
Logically, you have to remove your mask in order to eat or drink. However, specialists at Mayo Clinic are still advising everyone to wear a mask whenever they’re not ‘actively eating or drinking’ to minimize the risk of infection.
Face masks are one of the most effective measures of protection against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and one of the few ways we can keep our loved ones safe during these difficult times.
These simple habits along with other recommended safety measures can make a huge difference and may even save somebody’s life.
