Jalani New Normal, Apa yang Harus Disiapkan?

Jakarta, 10 Juni 2020 - MyProtection News

Hi, Sahabat MyProtection!

Sejak pandemi COVID-19 menyebar di Indonesia, kita sudah menjalani karantina kurang lebih 2 bulan lamanya. Saat ini skema new normal sudah mulai dijalankan. Artinya kegiatan perekonomian, pendidikan, dan lainnya mulai kembali berjalan tetapi dengan batasan tertentu agar penyebaran virus tak meluas.

Bagi Anda yang sudah kembali ngantor atau beraktivitas di luar selama pandemi, ada tips penting dari dr. Anandika Pawitri, medical editor SehatQ yang dikutip oleh Kompas.com agar keselamatan tetap terjaga:

  1. Tetap jaga jarak fisik dengan orang lain, minimal 1 meter.
  2. Biasakan cuci tangan setelah menyentuh sesuatu, bukan hanya saat tangan kotor
  3. Masker wajib digunakan selama beraktivitas di luar, baik saat berada di kantor, mall, ataupun gym. Jika Anda menggunakan masker kain, perhatikan cara memakai dan mencuci masker.
  4. Bawa hand sanitizer agar tangan tetap bersih walau tak bisa cuci tangan dengan air, khususnya ketika berada di tempat umum atau transportasi umum
  5. Batasi aktivitas di luar ruangan
  6. Hindari keramaian
  7. Belanja kebutuhan sekaligus sehingga kamu tak perlu sering ke pasar atau supermarket. Bahkan Anda bisa belanja online agar lebih praktis dan aman.
  8. Untuk lansia, jika terpaksa harus ke luar rumah harus lebih cermat dan hindari keramaian
  9. Pastinya, lengkapi proteksimu dengan Perlindungan Kesehatan Prima yang menjamin COVID-19 dan penyakit lainnya!

 

Salam,
