Here is what you should not do to keep yourself safe from Covid-19’s second wave.

01. Avoid hugging and handshakes during celebrations. Remember what health experts advised in the early days of Covid-19 pandemic in India: Say Namaste!

02. Don’t invite people from outside to celebrate the festival at your home. You can never be sure about the level of coronavirus exposure of your possible guests.

03. Don’t celebrate festivals with the big congregation, where people with unknown travel history may be part of the celebration.

04. Do not eat anything until you have taken a shower, cleaned and sanitized your body, and disposed of your clothes safely.

05. People in vulnerable age groups, that is, those above 60, people with co-morbidities, and those below 10 are advised not to go out during festivals.

06. Don’t leave your current place of residence to celebrate the festival in some other town. Avoid using public transport for travel.

07. Don’t be part of any procession during the festivals. Many state governments have imposed a ban on taking out processions. Avoid gathering around the pyre for celebratory Holika Dahan.

09. Maintain hand hygiene attentively: no handshake and mandatory hand sanitization. And, keep social distance in all gatherings and market places.

10. And, most importantly, don’t be lax in following Covid-19 protocol fully. Wear a face mask if you go out or meet somebody outside your family. Don’t take off your face mask even during playing with colors.
