            • If you decide to engage in public activities, continue to protect yourself by practicing everyday preventive actions.
            • Keep these items on hand when venturing out: a face mask, tissues, and a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, if possible.

              This article discusses five ways in which an individual or workplace can ensure that there is proper ventilation in order to lessen the chances of people becoming infected with COVID-19.

              The five suggestions are:

              • If it’s stuffy, walk away
              • Look up at the air conditioning (avoid places where air in the room is simply recirculated)
              • Ask about the fresh air ratio
              • Get the office management to check if there’s virus in the filters
              • Watch out for drafts – there are advantages and disadvantages to drafts coming into a room.
