Coronavirus is spreading in Pakistan at a very alarming rate, the highest single-day rise in the number of cases was recorded on 9th May i.e. 2301 new cases per day, just a day after Coronavirus Lockdown in Pakistan is uplifted. It was the same day when the govt of Pakistan started lifting lockdown. 

Here’s what you can do to protect yourself in this current situation when there are no more restrictions on the movement while the COVID-19 continues to spread at a very dangerous rate.

Covid-19 is thought to be mainly spread from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths and noses of people who are nearby and can be inhaled into the lungs.

It spreads between people who are in close contact with one another that is within 6ft. People can also get infected by touching the surfaces these droplets have landed on, then their eyes, mouths, or noses. To protect people and restrict the pandemic, Coronavirus Lockdown in Pakistan and like other countries all around the globe was imposed to get control of the unprecedented situation. Here are 13 things you must opt especially right now in post Coronavirus Lockdown in Pakistan situation.

Here are 13 things you MUST do to protect yourself when Coronavirus Lockdown in Pakistan is lifted:

In case of shopping for food and other household essentials, order online if it’s possible but if you do have to visit stores in person then follow proper protective measures mentioned above and visit during hours when fewer people are there, for example, a late night or early morning. Use hand sanitizer after paying.
