While we all continue to adapt to the new normal, the COVID-19 virus is still spreading. With this current pandemic and the increasing number of cases, it is important to have proper safety practices. More people are also back to their work day routines which means more interactions with other coworkers. Whenever you need to go to places outside your home, make sure to wear your protective gear and practice social distancing at all times.
To bounce back from this crisis, it is key for us to flatten the curve. Having to work in the new normal exposes you to the risk of catching the virus which is why you must always be aware of your surroundings. If you need to get tested, it is important to know the closest medical center to your home. Getting exposed to a positive case, whether or not it was close contact, would already require you to monitor yourself for any symptoms.
