2. Don’t Be Near People
If you live in a shared apartment or with your family and you are the only one quarantining, try to stick to your room as much as possible, and disinfect the common areas as often as you need to. Also, if you have the chance to use your own bathroom, you should do so. The contact should be kept to a minimum.
3. Wear A Mask
If you are suffering from a contagious disease and you must go to a public place or be around people in your house, you should wear a face mask. Certain conditions will spread through the air, and wearing a mask is one of the ways you can minimize the risk of contaminating others.
4. Avoid Sharing Personal Items
Germs can spread through surfaces and personal items, so if you suspect you might have a contagious disease and you live with someone else, you should not be sharing any objects. If you are quarantined, and you need to use the dishes, for example, make sure that you wash them thoroughly and that you use soap and water to eliminate any germs.
5. Washing Your Hands
Washing your hands is a sign of good personal hygiene, but if you are quarantined, it is extra important that you carefully wash your hands. Your hands work as a vehicle for a lot of germs and bacteria, and you can catch or spread a disease if your hands are not clean. This is something you should always be careful with – even if you are not quarantined. Carry hand sanitizer or alcohol spray with you at all times to be able to disinfect your hands when you don’t have a chance to wash them.
6. Disinfect Your House
Every surface that you touch frequently should also be cleaned frequently – this goes for phones, toilets, keyboards, doorknobs, kitchen appliances, and other objects that might be of common use around your home. Use your usual household cleaning products or, if you want to keep it simple, disinfecting alcohol wipes will do the trick!
