So we have been informed of a second wave of the COVID19 pandemic. To be forewarned is to be fore armed. It would be unwise to loose guard and ignore all the safety precautions. By doing so, one stands the risk of contacting the deadly virus and spreading it.
Now that the holidays are over and it is back to work mode. Unfortunately, the workplace does not limit people to COVID19 exposure. Here are some COVID19 outfit hacks to ensure your safety while you maintain social distancing and observe other protocols:
1. Wear a face mask
This is the most important of all. As you go out, remember to wear your face mask. It prevents you from inhaling droplets from others who may have the virus. A facemask also prevents you from spreading it around.
2. Keep it simple
Strive to wear simple outfits. Your clothes tend to carry infected droplets from infected persons or things. Hence, keep your outfits as simple as possible. No need for layering i.e. using unnecessary scarves, jackets etc. They can carry the virus and rub against infected areas.
3. Wear less transparent clothing
In the COVID19 pandemic, allow your clothes to be your defense system. Wear clothes that cover your wrists, stomach, arms, ankles, chest etc. The more you are covered, the more protected you are.
4. Wear comfortable shoes
The types that can be easily cleaned. Foreign health care workers stated that they ensure they wear rubber shoes or shoes made from fabric that can be wiped or washed clean so they can easily disinfect them. They spray disinfectant or rub them down with sanitizers before entering their homes so they don’t spread the deadly virus.
5. Pay attention to your hairstyle
You should not do hairstyles that would be all over your face that can carry the virus. It is advisable to keep your hair short or may be packed in a bun. Choose a style that has less tendency of coming in contact with the COVID19 virus.
