Some of the most effective methods of staying safe are definitely tools you should incorporate into your daily life. Check out these 7 habits for every day to avoid if you do not want COVID-19.

Wash your hands frequently

This is the number one habit that we all need to adopt and maintain as much as possible. Washing your hands is the first line of defense against the virus. This is because so many germs are spread through our hands, even if they don’t look dirty. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds to ensure that as much dirt and germs are removed. Keep in mind to wash during these times: before touching your face, after blowing your nose or sneezing, before holding a baby and after interacting with small children, when you return from an outing, before eating, after using a restroom, and more. When in doubt, wash your hands!
